Hi Diana, Does it also happen if you solvate the box without the protein? And are the holes close to the protein or just anywhere? And what makes it difficult to analyze the structure output by genbox directly, perhaps specifying that the output be .pdb? It's what I usually do. Cheers, Tsjerk O

Hi, It seems to me that the holes are created by genbox because I don't have them in the original solvent box. The intermediate box (outputed by trjconv) with the protein solvated but not converted is difficult to analyze, because the box doesn't have the right shape and of pbc issues, but it seem

Hello, No, the hole don't correspond to parts of the protein sticking out on the other side. The protein is in the center of the box and the holes are not due to pbc issues. Diana On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 10:10 PM, Tsjerk Wassenaar wrote: > Hey, > > Do the holes match the parts of the protein s

She uses "trjconv -pbc atom", so it looks like the answer is no. On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 6:10 PM, Tsjerk Wassenaar wrote: > Hey, > > Do the holes match the parts of the protein sticking out on the other side? > > Tsjerk > > -- gmx-users mailing listgmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.

Diana - I just wonder how the density of your system behaves while you run NPT equilibration? Do you monitor it? Did you estimate the size of these holes? Maybe they are just due to a visualization utility that uses inappropriate atomic radii? Vitaly On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 2:05 PM, dlousa wro

Hey, Diana - I believe these acetonitrile holes are not a problem. Just perform an equilibration run in the NPT ensemble and they will disappear. The more tricky way is to adjust VDW radii in vdwradii.dat before using genbox. By the way, what force field model of acetonitrile do you use here? Som
