Hi all,
I think I've seen these problems before as well. As far as i remember
the issue happens when you ask vmd to re-wrap the system centered on a
complex that is already separated by the wrap option of namd.
What i do is the following,
Let's say you have a dimer protein and it is only one monomer is
wrapped. Then i run
pbc unwrap -sel "protein" -all
That might be sufficient if you only want to reconstruct the complex.
then you run
pbc wrap -all -compound res -center bb -centersel "protein"
or something of the sort.
Best
Felipe
