I don't fully understand what you're trying to do, especially in the absence of solvent, but I'll venture some simple advice. Concentration is just the number of moles per unit volume. Simple unit conversion exercises will tell you how many ions are needed to achieve whatever target concentration you're looking for. -Justin -- Justin A.

Re: [gmx-users] surrounding a peptide by ions of magnesium
Hi , Thanks for a quick reply. Sorry for not being clear, I want to surround the peptide with just ions(sodium). How can I do this?

How can I do this? genbox -ci -nmol You will need a coordinate file for a single Mg2+ ion to be inserted, which is trivial to create by hand. I don't know how the ion force field parameters will behave in the absence of explicit solvent. Are you planning to use implicit solvent? -Justin -- Justin A.
