[gmx-users] Re: Minimum distance periodic images, protein simulation

[Mark Abraham]

You can try a run in implicit solvent to get a feel for the maximum
diameter of the protein while unfolding. You will not have any
certainty unless you can afford a box whose diameter is that of the
straight-line peptide...
