Dear Justin,
 
Can you explain to me what do you mean for "trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact 
followed by trjconv -center". Does it mean 2 steps command, with the first step 
as "trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact" and the second step as "trjconv -center"? Or 
can we merge it as a single step step?

Second, will you please tell me in " If the outcome of the analysis before and 
after PBC correction are the same", which analysis can be used as the "outcome" 
for the analysis?

Thanks.

Acoot

Quantitative analysis is more convincing - RMSD, RMSF, etc.

Center the system with iterations of trjconv, i.e. trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact 
followed by trjconv -center.  If the outcome of the analysis before and after 
PBC correction are the same, then you can rule out PBC effects, though they 
should be fairly obvious upon watching the trajectory anyway.
