The correct potential for a solute in a tip4p-ew solution

Dear LAMMPs users

I just realise that if I wish to use the default tip4p-ew potential in LAMMPs to simulate some solutes in tip4-ew as a solution, can I use lj/coul/cut/long to account for the vdwl/shourt-range interaction between the O in the water and the solute? Will LAMMPs knows that the point charge -1.040 should be at the M site from 0.125A away from the O site in this lj/cut/coul/long?

I know that within tip4-ew themselves, lj/cut/tip4p/long can do that for the short-range interaction between them, but I am not sure for lj/cut/coul/long will the information being carried on? Or I will have to create an explicite 4-site tip4-ew to simulate?

Dear LAMMPs users,

I am sorry I mean tip4p+ewald not tip4-ew.

Dear LAMMPs users

I just realise that if I wish to use the default tip4p-ew potential in
LAMMPs to simulate some solutes in tip4-ew as a solution, can I use
lj/coul/cut/long to account for the vdwl/shourt-range interaction between
the O in the water and the solute? Will LAMMPs knows that the point charge
-1.040 should be at the M site from 0.125A away from the O site in this
lj/cut/coul/long?

I know that within tip4-ew themselves, lj/cut/tip4p/long can do that for the
short-range interaction between them, but I am not sure for lj/cut/coul/long
will the information being carried on? Or I will have to create an explicite
4-site tip4-ew to simulate?

you should not use a hybrid pair style, but lj/cut/tip4p/long for everything.
