Yes, that is what i thought too. I have one or two things to check, then will report my results.
I have been calculating latent heat of vaporisation for a series of alkanes, and the answer is different. Been trying to work out why, if dime setting are wrong etc. Will post my results early next week. ________________________________________ From: gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org [gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org] on behalf of Mark Abraham [mark.j.abra...@gmail.com] Sent: 30 May 2013 21:31 To: Vitaly Chaban; Discussion list for GROMACS users Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Difference between the electrostatic treatments PME/Cut-offs and Reaction Field Things should be identical - any quantity computed from a zero charge has to be zero :-).
