    Dear Gmx Users,
I run the simulation of protein with 10 ligands (200 ns). In total
    I should have total of 4000 frames as I set up:

    nsteps = 100000000

    dt = 0.002

    nstxout = 25000


    ... iff the simulation completed successfully.


    I used trjconv -f md.trr -o mdnojump.xtc -pbc nojump

    The trajectory which I read in VMD has 3008 frames and my ligands
    completely disappear after 8 frame (They are not in PBC windows
    which I checked in Graphics -> Graphical Representation -> Periodic)


    Your choice of trjconv workflow demands that the protein be allowed
    to diffuse away. What VMD makes of that is not really of consequence
    to discuss here. Perhaps you can design a better trjconv workflow,
    as here

Thank you. I managed to fix it using: trjconv -f md.trr -o md1000.xtc -skip 4 (1000 frames instead of 4000) Then accoring to the workflow (PBC) I used: trjconv -f md1000.xtc -s md.tpr -pbc mol -o mdmol.xtc trjconv -f mdmol.xtc -s md.tpr -center -o mdCENTER.xtc (Center on a protein, output - System) trjconv -f mdCENTER.xtc -s md.tpr -fit rot+trans -o mdFit.xtc (Protein, output - System)

However, all ligands jump rapidly

around the protein till the time they bind to the protein surface (and the begining they were randomly placed around the protein) one by one. At the end when all of them stacked on my protein everything is ok. Will you suggest something?


Is this unusual? It sounds like the molecules diffuse around until they bind to the protein. You're centering on the protein and then fitting its translation and rotation; everything else will be processed relative to those criteria.
