Thanks again for the reply. A virtual point charge
is what I want.
Best wishes

No.
I said, you may want to perturb all partial charges in the site, where
the netto +1 charge sits OR place a virtual site somewhere in between,
to grow a point charge, whereas I'm not sure, if a point charge is, what
you want.

Many thanks for your reply! Concerning the use of PME, I
also put a counter charge in bulk in order to keep the whole
cell neutral.
So, if I understood corectly, you suggest that I should perturb
all the partial charges around the vitual site?

I don't really know, if this may solve your problem, but what I want to
suggest is, not using PME for the simulation. I don't know, how other
longerange-methods behave while changing the total charge of the system,
PME won't work (as far, as I know).
Concerning your way, how to perturb the charge, it depends on, where you
think the charge sits...In general, I would assume, that a site, where a
netto charge is 0 and the same, where the netto charge is one, will be
different in partial charges of most atoms in the area. Therefore
perturbing the whole site (just the partial charges) would be the right
way to do it. This in fact means, that you have the partial charges for
the +1-charge atoms...maybe spreading the charge in a senseful way,
should do it.
Using a virtual site would be the solution for a point charge in space,
its coordinates relative to two or more atoms.
If you want to have the charge sitting on a special atom, just change
that charge explicitly, although I'm really not sure, if that's the way,
one should go.
Hope you get some help from that.

Hi
I want to calculate the change in free energy (electrostatic contribution
only)
when introducing a charge in a certain site of a protein using a single step
FEP.
Should this be done with charging an inserted virtual site (a dummy atom) or
a
protein atom (e.g. Ca)?
I noticed that in the case of the dummy atom, the Coul-14:Protein-vsite
zero. I am
not sure why though...
Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback.
