    Yes, one can be visualized, but some preparation with trjconv -ur
    compact (as hinted at in trjconv -h) is a good idea.<br>

                        Dear users,<br>
                        <br>
                        I was trying to simulate a protein dimer
                        covalently bond with<br>
                        a disulphide bond (230+230 aa long). I used
                        usual protocol<br>
                        as used for simulation of a monomeric protein,
                        using gromacs-<br>
                        4.5.3, dodecahedron box, tip4p water model and
                        protein to<br>
                        box distance of 1 (-d in editconf). In the
                        middle of the simulation<br>
                        when i checked for minimum image violation there
                        was huge<br>
                        clashes. I am extremely sorry I have been asking
                        regarding this<br>
                        many times but in this it is a dimer and I am
                        not sure what mistake<br>
                        I have done because this happened while
                        simulating another dimer<br>
                        also though not sever. Hence I seek some
                        guidance from this<br>
                        community regarding the problem. I attach the
                        graph herewith.<br>
                        Kindly help. Let me know if I need to give any
                        other information.<br>

                  Please see my post from yesterday for a more detailed
                  reply to this exact same type of question. &nbsp;I am
                  beginning to suspect there's a problem with g_mindist,
                  but I have no solid evidence for that claim, just a
                  hunch. &nbsp;It looks like your protein crosses a periodic
                  boundary and that messes up the calculation. &nbsp;Please
                  center the protein in the box with trjconv -center and
                  re-analyze to see if there are any differences.<br>
