For Justin,
I need this water for one simple reason: less then 20nm doesn't work....As
I said before


It seems you have identified the source of the problem, and it is independent of box size. I questioned the box size because it seemed rather random and you had not shown any data for box sizes less than 19 nm, so I was curious how you arrived at the need for 20 nm, more than double the size of your solute.

It would be interesting to see if you could identify a minimum box size that does not require large numbers of solvent configurations to be stacked within the unit cell. The only reason I could see for what you're reporting is if neighboring solvent blocks somehow get crossed to produce overlap when they should simply be next to one another. The larger the box, the greater the probability that this happens.

Hi Mark,
you are right respect the -vdwd 0.4: In MARTINI tutorials they suggest to
use 0.21. Since I still got errors with this procedure, I decided to remove
water manually through vmd.

Looking carefully at the configurations, I found that the water molecule
originating the error is exactly superimposed to an other molecule so I
simply deleted it and the same error is reported for an other water
molecule.

Although I could scan all the pdb to detect all the superimposed water
molecules, I believed genbox checked for this. Of course the original box
does't contain superimposed molecules.



It is highly unusual for genbox to produce overlapping waters, but per the help description, only solute-solvent overlaps are checked, not solvent-solvent, which would likely require enormous amounts of memory (and genbox already has memory issues).
