gmx_d genion -s ions.tpr -o solv_ions.gro -p
topol.top -pname NA -nname CL -neutral -conc
0.115
The -pname option defines the type of the cation which in
this case is sodium (Na) while the –nname option defines the
type of the anion which in this case is chlorine (Cl). Option –
neutral asks genion to place ions until the system is neutralized
while –conc defines the additional salt concentration where in
this case the physiological salt concentration of 0.115 was chosen. After having completed the ion placement, continue with
the energy minimization but in the terminal command, change
solv.gro with solv_ions.gro as follows:
gmx_d grompp -f em.mdp -c solv_ions.gro -p
topol.top -o em.tpr
5. Each force field requires different parametrization in the relevant protocol file. For further details you may visit the gromacs

6. Depending on the reaction coordinate you wish to study, you
might want to pull a group of your system in different ways.
The alternatives provided in the gromacs pull code are position,
direction, and direction-periodic. For further details and more
thorough theoretical background visit gromacs manual at
