<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">Files that may have caused the problem are of course the obvious things like your mdp (what you've set pbc to, for instance), your topology (have you specified the bonds correctly in the first place?).<BR>If it turns out to just be a visualisation problem when using VMD, try using trjconv to dump out the first frame directly as a .gro for VMD. And, of course, using trjconv and specifying an appropriate -pbc option to 'fix' the pbc is something to do.<BR></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I'd suggest this is an issue with VMD rather than gromacs. 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>
