I tried both options and now different atom is responsible of this (Oxygen from small molecule next to Fe). With nstxout = 1 I observed the trajectory -> My Fe(2+) is coming very close to the Oxygen atom and it looks that their coordinate became equal: in VMD Oxygen absorbs Fe(2+) and the atom disappears :) Any suggestions?
