Melinda,

I also work with dimers in TIP3P solvent truncated octahedron. This is a
script that I find very helpful. Similiar scripts can be found by searching
the archives. Assumes a homodimer composed of two 25 residue monomers.

trajin solvated.x
strip :WAT
strip :Na+
strip :Cl-
center :1-25 mass origin
image origin center familiar
center :1-50 mass origin
image origin center familiar
trajout strip.x
go

Have a great day,

Scott
