I did use -ter and chose -COO and NH3+. Am i supposed to chose Zwitterion_COO- and Zwitterion_NH3+ ?

That's what I said, and that's what you have, isn't it? A single amino acid that should have both its termini charged?

        Hi

        I have figured out the vacuum slow problem. It turns out I was
        using PBC in vacuum with PME. It is now fixed.

        The other problem is still there. My protein has 2 chains. one
        chain is simply a glutamate residue. Its charge (both terminii
        charged is -1.11 instead of -1). here is the section of the
        topology with the charges. Why does pdb2gmx assign a charge of
        -1.11 instead of -1 if there is a free glutamate molecule with
        NH3+ and COO- at the terminii ?


    You're not choosing the termini correctly.  Use -ter with pdb2gmx
    and select the zwitterion forms of both termini.

               Hi

               I have a protein whose topology I built using pdb2gmx
            with the -ss
               option and the opls-aa force field. When I run grompp,
            the total
               charge on the protein is reported as 2.9 (not 2.999). Why a
               non-zero charge? Does this have something to do with the
            disulfide
               bridge?


           Something is materially wrong, like mangled termini. Have a
        look at
           the resulting structure.


               Secondly, when I run a simulation of the same protein
            (7000 atoms)
               with certain restraints in vacuum, the simulation runs
            very slow.
               I am wondering why. I am not using particle
            decomposition. the box
               size is 50 x 50 x 50 nm. Using 4.5.3


           Have a look at the end of the .log file for some performance
        data.
           How are you assessing "very slow"?
