Hi,
I am running simulations using implicit solvent. I am using the pbc = no option in my mdp file, however, I see it the .gro file that gromacs is creating a box for the system.What is the effect of the box in implicit solvent simulations?

None, if pbc = no. When writing a .gro file some data has to go into the space the format allows for the box. However the .mdp file controls whether that is significant. Later on when using analysis tools, some of the analyses might erroneously use that box if you don't give suitable instructions not to.

This is the mdp file that I am using:

------run.mdp------

integrator = md

nsteps = 20000

dt = 0.001

implicit_solvent = GBSA

pbc = no

nstlist = 0

ns_type = simple

rlist = 0

rgbradii = 0

coulombtype = Cut-off

rcoulomb = 0

vdwtype = Cut-off

rvdw = 0

tcoupl = v-rescale

tc_grps = system

tau_t = 0.1

ref_t = 1000

energygrps = Protein_chain_A Protein_chain_C Protein_chain_E Protein_chain_G Protein_chain_I Protein_chain_K

gen_vel = yes

gen_temp = 1000

ld_seed = -1

gen_seed = -1

nstxout = 1

nstvout = 1

nstxtcout = 1

nstenergy = 1
