[gmx-users] Membrane protein simulation: maintain protein in the box centre

2012-01-06 Thread Anna Duncan
Hello, I'm really sorry, please ignore my last post. I realised after I posted it that my British way of spelling 'centre' might have been preventing me from finding many previous posts on the topic. Indeed, when I searched a bit it became apparent to me that all I need to do is use g_

Hello, I've carried out simulation of a protein embedded in a membrane using the MARTINI coarse-grained force field. My simulation is 1 micro second long and towards the end of the simulation the protein drifts towards the 'edge' of the box. In my analysis, I want to look at the minimum
