You may not want to delete those molecules. It will be interesting to see, whether they stay or leave throughout the MD simulation after some time. My experience with the Sybyl software was that after some energy minimization (thus removing large forces that could have repelled the waters out the channel) the water molecules leave the pore and return to the bulk of the solvent. Then it is a real physical effect, if not an artifact of the applied force-field or simulation conditions. Nonetheless, I would wait with deleteing these water molecules and see what happens after, e.g. 200-300 ps. Best regards Peter Nagy Dept. medicnal and Biological Chemistry The Univ.
