Hi All,


I have a peptide that has three positive charged amino acids (LYS) and four negative charged amino acids (GLU) consequently it is a negative peptide. is that right

Assuming typical protonation states, and further assuming that there are no other unbalanced charges in the peptides, yes.

when i run gromacs simualtion grompp DOES NOT gave a warning: System has non-zero total charge: -6 ( i have six peptides)


Then you do not have what you think you do. Look at the topology to see what the net charge on each peptide is and determine whether or not this is what you want.

i tried neutralising the system, since that the peptides have an extra -1 charge per peptide.

however when i did add 6 NA to the system , after running the enrgy minimization there was an error that System has non-zero total charge: -6.000000e+00

so i dont understand how by adding 6 positive ions that cause the negative charge??


It can't. You've probably confused which files you're using or are misreading some output somewhere along the way. Adding six positives cannot give six negatives.

thank you so much for your help
