Dear Norman Geist,
Thank you very much for help!
I'm so sorry for the late reply!
I have two question to ask for your help.
1.
In your MD simulation with NAMD, have you ever used "wrapAll on" and
"wrapWater on " in your NAMD input file?
2.
You have mentioned "Frame 0 is needed for reference and must contain the
original, unwrapped system." in your last letter.
I can't grasp the meaning of "the original, unwrapped system".
You know, I have used "wrapAll on" and "wrapWater on" in my simulation.
So, as long as I run MD simulation of my system, the first frame must be
wrapped by NAMD itself.
Do you mean that I should not use ""wrapAll on" and "wrapWater on" in
NAMD simulation?
I have tried "pbc unwrap -sel "resname RBF""(RBF is the name of my
ligand) and now the ligand and the protein are in the same image, but
the case is not true for the water.
It seems that the water have some wrong bonds after I typed "pbc unwrap
-sel "water"", because it looks awful in VMD OpenGL for water.
Hope your reply and help!
Thank your very much!
