Hi Kavya, > "shortest periodic distance is 1.39714 (nm) at time 21824 (ps), > between atoms 2062 and 3688" > where 2062 is a protein atom and 21824 is a water molecule.
21824 is the time in ps at which the two atoms indicated, 2062 and 3688, are at the short distance given. You can dump the frame with trjconv and have a look. Probably your molecule stretched, or you solvated in a rectangular box and the protein rotated. In the first case, set a larger distance, in the second, use a rhombic dodecahedron.
