If there are particular features that users want, they are welcome to implement them and submit them for review in the development code. Otherwise, if no one files a feature request on redmine, the developers aren't going to invest time in the feature unless they need it themselves. I would hazard a guess that 3-D periodic boundary conditions are the most commonly used in simulations of biomolecules. PBC makes problem when you want to make movie in VMD, even you add some mirror-wise molecule in each direction. Is there anyway to figure out this problem? Any trajectory can be "fixed" for visualization purposes with trjconv. You may need several iterations to achieve the desired effect. http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Periodic_Boundary_Conditions#Suggested_trjconv_workflow -Justin -- Justin A.

[gmx-users] boundary conditions
Hi, I've a DNA molecule, and I want to simulate MD when the DNA has an extremity fixed. So I have to block some degree of freedom. How could I do this? thanks Yahoo!
