[gmx-users] How to center my trimer in my simulation box.

[Alan Dodd]

I've often found it necessary to do multiple trjconv steps to get the result I want.  So in this case, I'd probably make sure my protein is genuinely centered in the box, then take that output .xtc and then make sure everything is whole and approximately in the box (-pbc whole).

So I got it to center my protein (using -pbc nojump)  and keep the trimer and the membrane in tact but it completely destroyed my water. I was hoping I could get the whole simulation box back with the protein in the center.  Is that possible?

Thanks,

Ilya

Just to clarify.


I would run


trjconv -f *.gro -s *.tpr -pbc nojump -o out.gro?


What would I run next?


Thanks,


Ilya

Hello,

I am simulating a trimer in a membrane. In one of my simulation  two of the
monomers are on one side of the box and the other monomer is on the other
side of the box. I tried using trjconv to center the whole thing in the
center of my simulation cell but have failed miserably. I also searched
around for about an hour and could not find anything.

I use trjconv -f *.gro -s *.tpr -center rect -pbc whole -o *.gro.

first run
trjconv -pbc nojump


Any advice?

Thanks,

Ilya
