Ahh! Yes, Indeed I did center it to 0 0 0. I corrected that (centered it in the box), and it works fine now.
Thanks Tsjerk,

Hi Arneh,

I guess it's the PBC. Did you center your bilayer at z=0 (or x, or y)?
Then it's certain it's the PBC. Next time it may be better to center
your system at the box center.

Best,

Tsjerk

Hi,


I'm getting a quirky result from my minimization of my system (which
consists of a small peptide in a membrane, solvated).


When I look at the trr of the minimization (or the outputted structure
after minization),  I notice that my membrane has been inverted, and
there are 4 copies of the system.  (Yes, i have my images setting in VMD
set for just the self structure).


What's going on here?  My structure, topology and mdp files are all
correct (I successfully executed previous minimizations with them).  I'm
sure it's something really obvious, by I can't figure it out.  Would
appreciate any help.


Regards,


Arneh
