    Yes, it seems very confusing but my system is a peptide in a large
water droplet (~3.0 nm in diameter) present in vacuum and I need the water
molecules to leave the system gradually. I use igb=6 so I can use pmemd for
vacuum simulations. I need to change the dielectric constant of water in
this droplet from 78.5 to 1 and at the same time preserve the vacuum. Can I
just do it with dielec or I will need external, internal dielectric
parameters?
