Dear Users ,,.
hello.
I have been trying to do MD simulation of a peptide under the periodic 
boundary conditions. But every time i ran the MD i encountered a 
similar problem. In-spite of using the Periodic Boundary conditions, my 
peptide goes near to one of the corners of the water box (after 1.5ns 
approx)  with some of the part for few 10's of psec goes out of the 
water box. Initially I was thinking that there is some thing wrong with 
the parameter input file but after discussing in the mailing list and 
optimizing all the parameters I re-ran the MD.  But I again encountered 
the same thing. What I wanted to ask is whether the virtual water-box 
which i could see through VMD, is that the true resemblance of the 
water-box or the calculations for my peptide carries on with the same 
periodic boundary conditions( as in the beginning) whether it is at 
corner or not?
Thanks for any help
Best regards
Nav
