Dear Dr.Justin
What can we do (how can neutralize system) if the total charge of our 
system was not integer?
I think  there is not any solution and we have to simulate a charged 
system not a neutral.
Am I right?
I suspect every tutorial for simulating proteins in water deals with the 
need for counter-ions, and the technique for generating them.

Thanks in advance

    Dear Dr.Justin

    I had the same problem.
    I modified the charges and charge groupsin the  topology of a
    drug.the net charge of it is zero(I am sure)
    though,when I used pdb2gmx it resulted a NOTE like the following:

    NOTE:The system has non-zero total charge: 3.000003e00
    I continued simulation and ignored it!
    Because:
    1- I checked my protein.top and qtot was 3
    2-the net charge of my drug was 0
    3-Besides,all charges have 3 digit precision,How can it have
    0.000003 additional charge?!

    What is your point of view?
    Thanks in advance for your reply

             oh.. I have mistaken.. I had 5.005 of the system charge.
              So even if added five choride ions, the system charge is
            not zero. there was 0.005

             that is partial charge??  If like that, topology is
            broken or something wrong? abnormal??


        Maybe, maybe not.  Rounding errors could account for this
        difference, especially if your system is very large.  Still,
        you should inspect your topology/topologies for
        inconsistencies.  If pdb2gmx created the topology, keep an eye
        on the "qtot" column for a running total of the charge.  If
        you've made or adjusted any topologies on your own,
        double-check your work.  If everything looks correct, then the
        difference is likely a consequence of floating-point math and
        nothing more.
