Dear Najamuddin Memon

Thanks for your reply. I am a little confused here. Why is the protein
alone drifting? Typically, when we simulate protein only or protein-ligand
systems, the protein along with the co-molecule drifts – and hence we do
pbc correction. But in our case, we observed that the lipid does NOT move.
Only the protein, which is supposedly embedded in the lipid, drifts.

Further, when we proceeded with centering the system with respect to the
protein (which removed the drift), and calculated the number of water
molecules that remained in the interface layer (defined as 4.5 angstrom
from the protein) throughout the simulation, the two numbers were
different. That is, we obtained 16 waters molecules that remained in the
interface layer BEFORE centering and only 5 were found to be in the
interface layer AFTER centering. Would centering affect the number of water
molecules that resides in the hydration layer throughout the simulation?

Would be grateful for any inputs.

Thanks
Sankaran SV
