Hi Yang Ye, Thank you for your reply. When I change the temperature, the disassociation about the two strands of DNA always happened even though the temperature is reduced to 0K. It is absolutely impossible.
I think it is a real disassociation. So I am confused about the phenomenon . Any further suggestions ? I really appreciate your help.

Visualize with PBC in mind. To put them back, use trjconv to center one chain of the DNA and output the two chains.
