Try using ngmx to visualise the simulation like I said, that'll tell you
exactly what bonds gromacs thinks are there and definitively confirm whether
there's a problem in the setup.
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?).
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.

I don't think this is caused by VMD.
The real coordinates of the part of the molicule in the .gro file (restart file
from the end of simulation) will tell you.
This means gromacs doesn't keep the whole molecule.
Would you let me know what simulation setup you need for the cheking?
I used editconf to convert the .pdb file to .gro file.
Since the structure (.pdb) was pre-equilibrated one, I did setup box size
manually (not using editconf).
There were more than three float numbers at the bottom of .gro file.
I left only the first three, and replaced with the known box size.
Is this enough for PBC simulation? (manually typing box size at the bottom of
.gro file)

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.
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.

Subject: [gmx-users] image control
Dear users,
I'm running NPT simulation POPC with a short peptide.
I see the long bonds across the unit cell in VMD.
Why am I getting broken lipid molecules in the trajectory (original .xtc file
w/o any post-modification)?
Some lipids move whole molecules, but some are broken.
How can I control the unit of image?
I couldn't find any related word in the manual.
I assume image will be done by "residue".
Then I shouldn't get this strange result.
I got the popc.itp from Dr. Tieleman's web site.
Any idea?
