RE: Total charge problem

Hi Abhishek,

Did you ionize your system? By default, most ionization tools will add an extra 7 positive ions. An easy way to check the charge of just your protein would be something like:

puts [vecsum [[atomselect top "protein"] get charge]]

That ought to give you -7 as you expect.

Deal all,
I'm setting up a simulation, during set-up my protein is showing 23 negatively charged and 16 positively charged residues. The problem is that while running the simulation system is showing
TOTAL CHARGE = 5.02914e-06 e .
According to calculation there should be total charge =-7, which is not the case here.
Can someone help me out in this problem.

Thanks in advance,
