Hi all,

I am performing a simulation of an amphilic peptide at air/water interface. I want to start to simulation in which the peptide is placed at the interface. I changed the center of the system so that the center is now located at interface. Then, I used editconf command with -c option in order to center the peptide. I expect to place the peptide at interface. However, instead of placing it at interface, the center of the box is changed its old values.

editconf -c doesn't place a solute in a box...

How can I place the peptide at air/water interface before starting a simulation?

I think you want to construct your solvent box as above, then use genbox -cp solute.gro -cs twophases.gro with an appopriate -box setting.

Alternatively, set up your peptide with its hydrophobic face parallel to the x-y plane, solvate in a box of water and then delete all waters with z coordinates past a certain value. Then solvate the water+peptide in a cunningly chosen box of air.
