Hi Mark,

Thanks - I completely forgot about that!

Cheers,
Huiwen

Hi all,



I have a seemingly simple task that turned quite tricky here.



I am trying to perform energy minimization on a crystal structure after adding hydrogen to the protein using pdb2gmx (OPLS).



The problem I am facing now is that after energy minimization, the protein and water (originally in the protein cavity) were found in completely different coordinate space. Using "pbc box" in VMD, I found that the water was found roughly at the original space but not the protein.



I have tried (all turned out futile)

1) EM with and without pbc

2) position restraint the protein backbone and water



Would someone be able to help me on this? I know I must have done something silly here.



This is normal. See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions
