[AMBER] Fwd: Substrate moving out of the box during MD simulation-- reg

Dear all,

I have simulated an elongated protein in a cubic box (reason being the long
edges of the protein tilt during simulation and interact with its periodic
image thus resulting in bad energy values when I had used a cuboid /
triclinic box ). Now the substrate inside the protein often moves out in
certain frames during the simulation. Upon visualization, I saw that the
substrate molecule that moved out, is now becoming a part of its periodic
image.

I tried to image using ptraj with following script, but the substrate is
not imaged back to the protein.

*​Note- *
1to 476: protein residues
1-486: including one substrate
1-488: including second substrate
1-504: including protein,substrates and the inhibitor​


When I do a calculation, especially like binding energy, will the substrate
be rightly considered in the calculation?

How can I rectify this, if it is just an imaging problem?

Kindly give your valuable suggestions in this regard.

​thank you in advance.​
