Dear gmx-users,

I completed a MD (10 ns) of my protein-membrane system. When I perform a visual inspection (VMD) of md_0_1.gro file I observed a few water molecules within the bilayer. In previous steps (e.g. equilibration) this was not observed. Could be expected such behavior?

Membrane protein systems take a long time (tens of ns or maybe more) to equilibrate, so some water may drift in and out during the initial few ns as voids in the lipids open and close. Nothing to worry about, unless for some reason they persist out past the expected equilibration time.
