I had faced same problem during the simulation of a protein ligand complex,
when i run the simulation, after 1ns simulation the ligand jumped out of
cavity. I am not sure, but this problem occurs due to the image of the
atom/molecules during simulation, which does not effect quality of
simulation. Simulations in this state are quite well. We may proceed it.
I am also seeking for others reply so that i can confirm myself.
