Hi Steve,
The position of the coordinate origin in files built with Charmm and then
processed through Chamber is different to that for Amber files built through
Leap. This does not cause any simulation issues but it does present an
imaging issue that means visualizing files can be a little confusing.
The solution is to image things first in ptraj before writing the pdb file.
You probably want to do this before visualizing trajectories as well.
Try adding, where XXX is the last residue number in your solute.
center :1-XXX mass origin
image origin center familiar
You might need to tweak this a little bit to get it to work but that should
get you started.
All the best
Ross
