Hello Xavier, and sorry to bump in. I am also having that same issue just as Maria described - could you please explain in a bit more details why does that happen?
I mean, why does the membrane move along z-axis, and how to solve/avoid it? Thanks a lot, -Shay _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of XAvier Periole Sent: Friday, July 03, 2009 12:27 PM To: Discussion list for GROMACS users Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Re: how to center a MARTINI trajectory so that thelipid bilayer remains at the center of the box (XAvier Periole) This sounds pretty bad! You have a drift of your all system apparently ... Did you not remove the COM of your system? For membranes it is often recommended to remove the water and the lipid bilayer separately. The might drift one from the other.

The two layers separate over the pbc? did you try a -pbc nojump prior the centering?
