Re: AW: moving out of the box

yes I've seen that happen occasionally. You need to be very careful in the
options that you give PBC wrap.

Did you try the line that Normal recommended?

I would try first aligning all the frames using the RMSD trajectory tool
(it will not be confused by periodic boundaries the way our eyes are, and
will do everything correctly). Then use Normans line "pbc wrap -centersel
"protein or nucleic" -center com -compound residue -all

Does this still produce corrupted bonds?
