[gmx-users] mirror effect in membrane simulation

[Dallas Warren]

Nothing being done wrong at all, it's a visualisation artefact.
Performing the Hbond calculations on the unprocessed trajectory will
not affect the results, the various scripts involved in such analysis
are intelligent enough to handle the PBC.

The command you invoked there does nothing to center the bilayer in the box.
# mol puts the center of mass of molecules in the box
# compact puts all atoms at the closest distance from the center of the box.

See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions
for pointers.
