Hi,

I have asked this question previously also . I have repeated the
equilibration again , but still the protein moves out of the box.

here is the configuration file that I used for minimization and npt
equilibration :-

Minimization
===========
numsteps 100000
minimization on
dielectric 1.0
coordinates ./ionized.pdb
outputname complex_min
outputEnergies 1000
binaryoutput no
DCDFreq 1000
restartFreq 1000
structure ./ionized.psf
paraTypeCharmm on
parameters ../common/par_all27_prot_na.prm
exclude scaled1-4
1-4scaling 1.0
switching on
switchdist 8.0
cutoff 12.0
pairlistdist 13.5
margin 0.0
stepspercycle 10

I tried using pbc wrap by using the command pbc wrap -centersel protein but
whole of the box and protein comes out in the form of lines...

Pls help as I am not able to move on with my experiment
