Dear Gmx Users,
I am run a simulation with Gromacs 4.5.4. of my protein and 15 ligands. The problem I face is PBC which I cannot get rid of. I used:
1.      First make your molecules whole if you want them whole (system).

trjconv -f md298SKIP4.xtc -s md298.tpr -pbc whole -o md298whole.xtc

2.      Cluster your molecules/particles if you want them clustered

3. Extract the first frame from the trajectory as reference for removing jumps if you want to remove jumps.

trjconv -f md298.trr -s md298.tpr -dump 0 -o 1stframe.pdb

4. Remove jumps if you want to have them removed using the first frame (system)

trjconv -f md298whole.xtc -s 1stframe.pdb -pbc nojump -o md298nojump.xtc

So the trajecory of my ligands is smooth but they do do bind to the different periodic images. As i know it is impossible to obtain the proper trajectory of all of them I just want to obtain the realistic final positions of my system to extract pdb file for further umbrella sampling. Any suggestions?


If you have a single protein to which all the molecules bind, you can simply:

trjconv -s md298.tpr -f md298SKIP4.xtc -o center.xtc -center (center on protein, output system)

trjconv -s md298.tpr -f center.xtc -o fit.xtc -fit rot+trans

The protein will stay in the center of the box, with its rotational and translational motions fitted. It should produce a very smooth trajectory.
