Hi,
I am running a REMD of a disordered protein, I visualized the trajectory in
VMD and I found that the protein is very close to the box edge.
Then I use "gmx mindist " to check if a protein has seen its periodic
image during simulation. When I used the command "gmx mindist -f remd_01.pdb -s
remd.tpr -od mindist.xvg -pi" I choose the 1 group---protein. I choose some
data from mindist.xvg, they are as follow:
0 2.800 5.225 7.200 7.200 7.200
2 2.793 5.136 7.200 7.200 7.200
4 2.804 5.002 7.200 7.200 7.200
6 2.777 5.176 7.200 7.200 7.200
8 2.820 5.187 7.200 7.200 7.200
10 2.871 5.043 7.200 7.200 7.200
12 2.788 5.089 7.200 7.200 7.200
14 2.882 4.892 7.200 7.200 7.200

5896 1.523 5.908 7.200 7.200 7.200
I set the short-range VDW and electrostatic cutoffs=1.0 nm, the distance
between the outside of protein and the edge of box is 1.0 nm. the Minimum
distance to periodic image ranges from 1.5 nm to 4.2 nm from the data above.
While the deal value should be at least 2.0 nm, which is double the cutoff.
Do anyone knows the simulation is normal and if a protein has seen its periodic
image during simulation?
which group should I choose when i using gmx mindist, protein, C-alpha or some
else?
Best regards,
Ouyang
