Hi Justin,

Thanks a lot!
Things worked.

Now I, however, have a different problem in extension to what I am doing.

I was able to created a sphere of water and methanol around a polypeptide and 1 Li+ ion.

  editconf -f 1li.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o onlyli.gro
  genbox -cp onlyli.gro -cs mix.gro -shell 3 -o li_sol.gro
  genbox -cp li_sol.gro -cs mix.gro -shell 3 -o 6nmshell.gro
  editconf -f his20.gro -d 0 -o onlyhis.gro
  editconf -f onlyhis.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o hisinbox.gro
  genbox -cp hisinbox.gro -cs 6nmshell.gro -o 6sys.gro


Now I need to add few more Li ions and anions in the sphere.

I tried doing that,
genbox -cp 6sys.gro -ci 1dhb.gro -nmol 20 -o added_dhb.gro -p topol.top

(1dhb.gro is 2,5-dihydrobenzoic acid anion)

But, since the sphere 6sys.gro is essentially in a box, the dhb anions ...some got randomly placed inside the sphere and some in the open spaces of the box in which 6sys.gro is sitting.

How can I place all the anions and then Li+ ions specifically inside the sphere?


That's what genion is for.
