AW: [gmx-users] Shape of box

[Rausch, Felix]

Hi Lara,

Please see "editconf -h" for the available box shapes. Which of these you use is depending on your system (or a matter of taste actually).
The dodecahedron is mostly used to decrease the system volume, thus it's a good choice for the simulation of a single protein in solvent (as in your tutorial?).

Cheers,
Felix

Betreff: [gmx-users] Shape of box

Hello

If you add solvent water around your protein you have to generate a box with the editconf command. How to know what shape that box should have? In my tutorial is a dodecahedron used. What other boxes exist and how to know which box one has to use?

Thanks
Greetings
Lara
