Hello Everybody,

I have 2 different protein chains (not a homodimer), chain C and chain F in a PDB file.
These 2 proteins are interacting proteins close in proximity.
I would like to use energy minimization (EM) and equilibration (EQ) to approximate the most relaxed interacting conformation between these 2 proteins. However, after EM, these 2 chains become far apart in space. (I checked with PyMOL using editconf for the resulting EM .gro file) My previous EM and EQ run for a different set of 2 proteins did not have this error.
May I please know how I can rectify this?


This sounds like a normal consequence of PBC.
