[gmx-users] Strange problem.complex out of Box after EM

2011-11-17 Thread Saba Ferdous
Dear Gromacs users

I am trying to simulate a protein complex. That complex has been obtained
after protein-protein docking.

I have geneated topology, defined box and solvate, added ions successfully.
My complex is centered in box.

but when I performed Energy minimization then my protein complex comes out
of box from one side.

can any body help me in fixing this problem so that i could proceed towards
equilibrium steps..

Many thanks with anticipation


Regards
Saba

There is no problem.  It is odd that EM would cause periodicity issues, but 
suggests that your protein is not centered properly or that your box is not 
large enough to accommodate it.  There may be some inconvenience for 
visualization (which can be fixed), but there is no such thing as outside in a 
periodic system.

Please change the subject line to the relevant topic and do not paste the entire 
digest.  I guess the archive is already somewhat hopeless, but let's not make it 
worse :)

Dear Justin,

I have set 1.5 dodecahedron. i centered the complex in box.
complex.gro, complexsol.gro and complex_sol_ions.gro seems inside in 
box. I m using VMD for visualization. i have rotated it in 3D
while when after EM step, i visualize em.gro then half complex seems 
outside the box. is there any way to center em.gro after energy 
minimization?




Again, this is just a matter of visualization.  There is nothing wrong and 
nothing needed to fix.  You can rewrap the periodic cell with


trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact

if you find you want more convenient visualization.
