[gmx-users] question about periodic boundary conditions

2010-10-20 Thread rainy...@yahoo.com
Hi, Is there a way to quantitatively determine, from a trajectory file, whether a molecule is interacting with a copy of itself in the adjacent box (given that PBC is applied)? Currently, I'm using VMD - I've already loaded the *xtc file into the*gro structure file and viewed the periodic images

Justin, I have a single solute. But I understand what you're saying about the cutoff. My long-range cutoff is set to 1.2 nm (from MARTINI force field), so therefore, the snapshots corresponding to a minimum periodic distance of 1.2 nm would agree with the overlap witnessed in VMD? Thanks

Hi, I am new to the list. I am trying to simulate lipid bilayer with atomistic model. I want to calculate surface pressure at phase boundary. I am thinking of using #surf*surfTen option with g_energy. But I am afraid, that I won't get a meaningful value because of large fluctuations.
