Dear GROMACS users,

I am trying to visualize a trajectory with hundreds of peptides which come and go out and in the faces of the periodic box. Problem is, when they cross the periodic boundary, the visualization software (I tried both VMD and PyMol) create visual artefacts by visualizing nonsensically long bonds crossing the box -which I understand, since the algorithms seem to have no clear notion of PBC.

Using -pbc nojump or similar, given my experience with identical systems only containing less peptides, is not going to work (peptides are going to be "broken").

Since all I want is some nice snasphot of the trajectory to show and not analysis, I feel that a much easier solution would be to find a setting in the visualization softwares that simply do not visualize bonds longer than a threshold. However I can't find such a setting. Does one exist? Does a "PBC mode" exist? What kind of solution do you propose? I googled quite a bit but I couldn't find much.

Thanks,
Massimo
