Thank you for your reply. I am just wondering is there anyway we can make pdb2gmx change the default digit number? I am doing a membrane protein, and I already have a ideal model as a pdb file. If I need to go over the solvate(or genbox in the 4.5.x version), by default waterbox setting the water will go into the lipid layer since the algorithm is just to put water into all the spaces, I may have to manually delete those water. If I can just transfer the model it will make life much easier and I can also compare with the known result. Thanks again for your time!
