Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply... I extract the pdb files using ptraj and then use my own small script to view all the water molecules within the vicinity of 12A of the coordinate point that I give as input. I have checked the script its working fine. I dont know how to cope with this. In my studies the water bridges are of vital importance and as the run goes on the bridges tend to diminish.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Waqas.

Hi,

are you sure this is not just an imaging problem? Due to diffusion into
neighboring cells, it looks like waters moving away when you visualize
your raw trajectory in e.g. vmd.

How do ptraj-imaged trajectories look?
