Thanks.


When using

comm-grps= Protein

in your mdp file the center of mass of you protein will stay at its 
starting position.


good luck,
Jochen

Hi you!it may not be as bad as it looks like. Usually the one happening to your protein is only a visualization problem, if an atom of your protein crosses the periodic simulation box, it might appear as if the whole molecule jumps out of the box, because the coordinates of one of its periodic images are shown instead of those referring to the real box. You can simply assess if this is the case by running a single step dynamics, at a low temperature, if the protein jumps out all the same, it can't be because of the real protein movement! In this case, you can just convert you trajectory by 
trjconv -center -pbc wholethis way you should have a trajectory in which your protein quietly stays in its box.hope it helps!greetings,MGiòOn 3/13/06,
