Hi Raja,

When you generate a .tpr file (for whatever purpose) all molecules will be mapped to a rectangular box as good as possible. For this, the first atom of the molecule is used. So when a molecule happens to be sticking out of the rectangular box, or when it is just pushed over the border during EM/PR, it will be mapped to the other side and it will appear to have jumped. If you place your ligand (-s first atom) in the center of the rectangular box (editconf -c), it will stay there during EM/PR.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

Dear Tsjerk,
        Thanks for your reply. But I have not gone to the stage of
        dynamics yet. I am still struck at energy minimization. Now
        atleast I could reason out why it happens, but I dont know how
        to stop it. The reason is everytime
when I convert ligand-enzyme complex using pdb2gmx, I trim off the
ligand and convert the protein part alone, later I
paste the drug molecule in the resultant file. I suspect that could be
the problem,so I try to fix it by myself.

With thanks !
