Hi justin ,
Thank you a lot for your explaination.
My opinion on the working of g_mindist -pi is that when it shows the
distance between two atom
of the protein is less than vdw cut off ( 1.4 nm ) , then protein see it
periodic image, and it is the violation of pbc.
Is these is right??? ( That is the shortest Periodic distance should be
larger than vdw cut off 1.4 )
This is correct, when considering a single molecule, i.e. it can't see itself.
If you have two proteins, and you choose the blanket "Protein" group, you
haven't determined anything, because now the calculation involves multiple
molecules.
If it is right, g_mindist say that The shortest periodic distance is
0.154938 (nm) at time 16162 (ps),
between atoms 223 and 3270
This is less than 1.4 then Why it is not problem..???
Because they're in separate molecules. Did you ever do as I suggested and
visualize this frame? It will be immediately apparent that there is no problem.
Please refer to textbooks or even simple Google searching for explanations of
the minimum image convention. As I said, it is described in almost every
reference text.
