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
