You have to be quite careful which .gro you use to provide the original structure, make sure it is actually the starting frame and not anything else - this is something I've seen cause this sort of problem before.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Normally, of course, PBC settings in Gromacs keep molecules whole in the output file quite reliably, but not knowing how you've set your simulation up, I couldn't comment on that. Using ngmx is a good way to check that Gromacs itself is doing what you think it is.<BR><BR></DIV>
