Hi, David,

Thank you for your reply.

Can anyone tell me more about the differences between the wrapped and
unwrapped states please? from my results, gas molecules that are outside the
protein if unwrapped may become inside the protein when the trajectory is
wrapped into the primary box, therefore the results could be obtained will
be totally different. I really want to know which states indicate the real
situation. Thank you.

Best regards,
Kailee
