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
Hi Jack,
> In all of the examples distributed with APBS, the pdie (solute dielectric)
The pdie must be the protein dielectric constant though the comment for
pdie in the pymol generated .in-file reads "# Solute dielectric" ...
that is probably a mistake. The APBS-plugin says Protein Dielectric.

I have stumbled across the parameter causing the difference.
In all of the examples distributed with APBS, the pdie (solute dielectric)
value is set to 2.0 whereas ABPS-tools.py defaults this to 20.0. I find
that if I use 2.0 instead of 20.0 for pdie, the resulting electrostatic
potential map i
