Dear Amber Users,

When running an MD is the water “buffer zone” maintained on all sides of your protein? For example, if you have a period box with dimensions 63x55x78 angstroms and the van der waals radius of your protein is 44x35x59 angstroms would you ever encounter a situation where the protein rotated and now the long edge of your protein is aligned with the short edge of the box and you would have a potential interaction with the periodic image. I have not seen this happen but the question has been posed. Any insight would be appreciated.

Janet Paulsen
