Hello Axel:
Indeed I took that into account when devising the procedure, although
a Boundary of 24 and Box Padding of 15 (12 in a repeated simulation)
seemed to me to give a gap enough between cells. The analysis was:
molinfo top set a 103
molinfo top set b 123
molinfo top set c 93
Graphic Representations ... Periodic... select all x,y,z
Also, I was terrified by the number of water beads already present in
the above configuration.
In answer to Peter also the full set of parameters used for solvation:
Segment ID Prefix WT
Boundary 24
Box size: Use molecule dimensions
Box padding: 12 throughout
Use non standard solvent:
Solvent box pdb: cgwat.pdb
Solvent box psf: cgwat.psf
Topology: rbcg-2007.top (added of "Nxg Nxx Nxg 2.988 92 in the Angle sectio)
Side length: 40 (I did not check this with VMD; with Chimera, more or
less, it corresponds)
Key selection: name H2O
Thanks
francesco
