Dear Gromacs users,

I want to simulate a protein between two graphene sheets separated by 21 nm. The system is solvated and placed in the cell of dimensions 17.09360  17.18200  25.00000. 
The energy minimzation of this system with position restrain applied to protein and frozen carbon atoms ran OK.
I continued with short simulations in an NVT ensemble with position restrains applied to protein. My output coordinates for all atoms of the systems were integers. Small fragment of a selected frame of the output is as follows

    1GRA     C1    1    0    0    0
    1GRA     C2    2    0    0    0
    1GRA     C3    3    0    0    0
    1GRA     C4    4    0    0    0
    2GRA     C1    5    0    0    0
    2GRA     C2    6    0    1    0
    2GRA     C3    7    0    1    0
    2GRA     C4    8    0    1    0
    3GRA     C1    9    0    1    0
    3GRA     C2   10    0    1    0
    3GRA     C3   11    0    1    0
    3GRA     C4   12    0    1    0

I have to note that I got the same output with no position restraints on protein.

Do you have any idea what the problem is? 

Thank you in advance.
