dear Alex,

  it is good practice to neutralize the system to avoid non realistic
correlations in the electrostatic potential: this is accomplished by
adding counterions, and in the most simple case (i.e. no interest in
specific counterions) the choice is Na+, which is parametrized in most
force fields.

ciao

Luca
