Dear users, I have performed an simulation of polypeptide(5-residues of alanine) in vacuum using gmx_4.5.5 (Double Precision). For this, I am using all cutoff=0 with no pbc. The input mdp file for the simulation is given below

I do not know how Gromacs calculate coulomb (SR) value. Please suggest if I am missing something.
