[gmx-users] Jumping to other side of box

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

You cannot attach items to emails to this list. If you need to share a

and post the link.

However, in this case I think the problem is conceptual. When you are using
periodic boundary conditions, you do not have two sides to the bilayer.
There's one contiguous chunk of water, and of course things diffuse freely
within it.
