Dear NAMD Users:
I am working with a cationic amphiphilic peptide named Bactenecin whose linear sequence is RLCRIVVIRVCR. I worked with the peptide in a water sphere. There was no problems in minimization and warming the system, but during the equilibration the peptide tends to go outside the water sphere. I believe it is not normal. Does anybody know how to avoid it?
The script I used for the euilibritaion was:
structure ../Estructuras/bact.psf
coordinates ../Estructuras/bact.pdb
bincoordinates ../Calentamiento300/bact_cal300.coor
binvelocities ../Calentamiento300/bact_cal300.vel

I wait that someone can help me with this.
Thanks for your help.
