<div>Dear Sir,</div> <div> </div> <div> Thanks for your prompt reply, It seems that we do not have to bother about whether the protein is coming out of the box or not as already we introduced pbc? Then how should we understand that the simulation is correct?</div> <div> Will you please kindly check over my md.mdp file, Another trouble I was facing that when running grompp it did not give any information about charge, previously when I ran the same for other proteins it always gave information about charge, so I had to add counter ion , but here I did not. Am I doing any mistake?</div> <div> Please help.</div> <div> </div> <div>regards</div> <div>SANGEETA</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Erik Marklund <erikm@xray.bmc.uu.se></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px;
