Dear gmx users:


I am using the free energy to calculate the ligand binding affinity to protein, 
during the decouple process, I need to put some restraint between the protein 
and the ligand, e.g. distance restraint.

But distance restraint is only for intramolecular, so I need to make a hybrid [moleculetype] section that includes the protein and the ligand, which means the ligand sort of becoming a residue of the protein. In this case, I do not know how to put my ligand in the couple-moltype? or I need to manually put all these state B for the ligand?
Anyway, so I manually put all these B-state parameters for the ligand, as I 
turned the B state charge to zero, when I did the grompp, it showed up a note:  
State B has non-zero total charge: 5.800000e+01. so what does it mean? What can 
I do for this?

Will be really appreciated for answering back.


I would think you could avoid all these problems by using the pull code for a restraint, rather than an intramolecular distance restraint. The error with a net charge of +58 seems to indicate that whatever you're doing to the topology is turning on (likely) every charge in the system, rather than just those of some small part of it.
