Dear All:

I encounter some problems when I am using command "trjconv" to remove the periodic boundary condition.

I am doing molecular dynamics simulations of a pentamer, and some of the subunits "jump" from one box to its adjacent one. Thus, I try to remove the periodic boundary conditions by trjconv command.The commands I used are as follows:

trjconv -s trpfile -f xtcfile -o new_xtcfile -n index.ndx -pbc nojump
If this command does not work that means your tpr file (reference
structure) contains broken subunits. Check it and give a tpr with the
subunits full and it will work ...


In the results I found the five subunits are put together to form the initial pentamer which is what I expected. However, I also found some of the subunits are cut off a part (i.e., the subunit is broken into one large piece and several small pieces, the large piece forms pentamer with other subunits, and the small pieces distribute in the boundary of the box).

Then, I try to solve this problem by using the follow command:

trjconv -s trpfile -f new_xtcfile_lastCommand -o another_new_xtcfile -n index.ndx -pbc whole

this time, the subunits are not broken, but the pentamer is not formed(i.e., some subunits in one box and some in the adjancent one).

Thus, I am writing to find a way in order to remove the periodic boundary condition and put the subunits together as a pentamer with out break a seperate subunit into several parts.Could anyone be so kind to give me some suggestions? Thank you very much for your insight.

Best Wishes

R-X Gu
