Sorry, but I have to ask some more questions. I have just started to perform simulations in vacuum. I can understand not using of PME in vacuum simulations; however, I can not understand the sentence you wrote : 'rotation is recomended.' COM velocity removal's effect is directly visible. Is it related to conservation of angular momentum?
Thank you very much!

For simulation in vacumm, you need rotation. With big molecules, equilibration may not be done thoroughly; this may result in very obivious rotation that Linear can not prevent. So visualize your trajectory and check your molecule. If it happens, you need to apply Rotation in the beginning of your simulation for a few ns.

The option Angular is said that "Remove center of mass translation and rotation around the center of mass". Does it mean the option Angular remove the translation and rotation BOTH ? If I want to do a simulation such as a protein in the explicit water, which option would be better? Or it will be the same? Thank you for your reply.
