Re: [gmx-users] Electric field, potential, dielectric constant

Hi,
You may want to use a Poisson-Boltzmann solver, e.g., APBS for this purpose.

 Dear Gromacs Users,

 I have several questions about electrostatics in Gromacs.
 I am simulating two proteins in water, separated by certain distance,
 and was interested in their electrostatic interactions.

 I was wondering if Gromacs can calculate and show me values of
 electric field or electric potential at any point within the volume.
 If yes, how can this be done?

 I looked through the manual and did not find much. I tried using
 g_potential, but it only gives me ten values for electric field (if I
 use 10 slices, and particular direction).
 This confused me, because I thought that in the system each coordinate
 would have different electric field.
 How should I interpret the results of g_potential?

 Also, can I use Gromacs to compute dielectric constant of a particular
 region within the volume? How can I do that?

 Thank you very much!!

 Cheers,
 Vladimir
