Hi,
I have a system containing water and a large protein. In the simulation, I do not want the protein center of mass to drift away.

Why do you want it not to drift away? There's nothing magical about the center of a periodic simulation cell. Why do you want to change the dynamics to achieve this?

I was wondering what will be the reasonable method in gromacs to fix the position of the center of mass of the protein in its original position . I was thinking about two options in gromacs. 1) use the protein as comm-grp only to remove its center of mass motion . ( or should I use both protein and non-protein ( water) center of mass as comm-grps separately ). 2) Finding the residue closest to center of mass of the protein ( but I am not sure how to do it ).
Can anyone suggest which will be a good idea ?
