Thanks Justin. Can you please elaborate on why for a binary (solute+solvent) the size should be larger than 2 Rc? I thought minimum image convention works for all atoms (solute ans solvent) and this makes sure forces are not double-counted. What if the solute is a polymer, I mean how can one calcul
