Dear all,

I tried to send this message earlier, but I had attached a pdb file and apparently it exceeded the size allowed in the mailing list and is awinting for the list moderator to evaluate it. I apologize if the message is sent twice. I am trying to solvate a protein in a box of acetonitrile using genbox. My initial solvent box is a cubic box containing 300 molecules of acetonitrile that has been equilibrated for 500 ps at constant P and T.

I used the following protocol to generate the box:

#######################################################################################
#create the box
editconf -f protein.pdb -d 1.2 -o protein_in_box.pdb  -bt dodecahedron

#solvate
genbox -cp protein_in_box.pdb -cs acetonitrile_eq.gro -o protein_in_acetonitrile.gro

#convert the box to visualize it
touch empty.mdp

grompp -f empty.mdp -c protein_in_acetonitrile.gro -p 01_make_top/protein_ACN.top

trjconv -f protein_in_acetonitrile.gro -o protein_in_acetonitrile.pdb -pbc atom -ur compact <<EOF
0
EOF
#######################################################################################

After these steps I get a box that has holes and I can't understand  why.

How does the unmodified "protin_in_acetonitrile.gro" look?

I couldn't send the final pdb file in attachment, if anyone thinks he/she can help and whishes to see the pdb file I will send it to your email.


It would be far simpler to just post an image online, i.e. bullet point #4 here:

Thanks in advance.
