Richard, Actually I don't have a copy of Delphi available (hence the use of APBS). I did notice that I see more positive surface area on a molecule with a -13 net charge when the run is done with pdie of 2.0 compared to 20.0 even in the presence of 0.150 mM NaCl ions. I also noticed an oddity when I tried to completely reproduce our buffer conditions by adding in the 20 mM CaCl2 such that I had...
Ion Concentration (+1): 0.150 Ion Concentration (-1): 0.190 Ion Concentration (+2): 0.020 The resulting run generates repeated warnings of the form... % MVCS: iters on coarse grid: 100 ...but does complete. I wonder what impact these warnings have on the accuracy of the APBS calculation though? Jack
