You might want to try a rombic dodecahedron box (an option in editconf).
Or you can run the simulation using a triclinic box hoping the images don't
interact and then check after the simulation has finished using g_mindist
-pi on the trajectory, bearing in mind if they do then you will have wasted
a lot of time.
If you do want to use a triclinic box having a larger amount of water
surrounding the complex may be advisable as this makes images interacting
less likely

Hi,
You have to make sure that you're molecule doesn't rotate. Otherwise
it will cause direct interactions over the PBC. The same holds true
for large conformational changes.
Cheers,

I want to simulate a protein complex using a triclinic box, because it
reduce my system size in 60%, and consequently the computing time. I
have read that using a triclinic box can give problems for a long MD if
the peptide has a whirl, but I don´t know if it is a problem for a
complex of ~ 530 aa (protein 1: 376 aa, protein 2: 132 aa, protein 3:
20 aa, complex size 64x64x104 Angstroms) surrounded by 12 Ângstroms of
water. I want to run the MD simulating 20 ns.
What problems have you read about? Can you cite a source so we know what
you're talking about?
