Hi Jason,
Thanks for the comments. I am following you're tutorial of constant pH MD in explicit solvent. Since the saltconc=0.1, how would I go about doing it at a different salt concentration? In that case, reference energies should be defined at that concentration?
Kindly, could you recommend where I can find information about this.
Thanks
Regards
Sowmya

As you pointed out in your later email, the `changeProtState` command only
changes the charges of the residues. It "deprotonates" side-chains the
same way that constant pH MD does -- any "deprotonated" atom is simply a
dummy atom with 0 charge. In particular, atom types and parameters remain
unchanged. The charges used are the ones used in CpHMD simulations -- they
are not actually identical to the deprotonated residue charges (that is,
ASH that has been deprotonated using ParmEd has slightly different backbone
charges than ASP, but the side-chain charges are the same).
HTH,
Jason
