Hi Maik, That's exactly what I'm attempting to do...morph G to A etc. All I'm doing here is turning off the charges of G and then turning them on again. Wouldn't you do this anyway in the morph step? Wouldn't the process go something like: Turn off charges -> Morph LJ parameters -> Turn on charges.

Hi, If you expect a dilute homogeneous distribution and you make an rdf between a group and itself, it should go to 1-1/N. But for for instance liquid water it would go to 1, since the (N-1)/N molecules can sample the whole volume minus the volume of one molecule. Berk. Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 16

Hi, The integrated rdf's never go to 1, since your box has corners which fall out of a sphere. The normalization should be ok. Some time ago the normalization was slightly different, g_rdf normalized with the number of atoms - 1, if both groups were identical. I removed this in, I think, 3.3.2.

You haven't edited your topology files correctly.  If changing the number of ions has not resulting in a change of charge, I'd suggest you haven't added the ions in right; otherwise, I suspect it's something to do with the number of waters.  Particularly as the error in coordinates vs. topology
