[AMBER] Membrane protein imagining problems

Dear all,


I have run four simulations containing one protein (two of them) and a complex of two proteins (the other two) anchored to a lipid membrane. I used PBC in a rectangular box. I have had imaging issues that I have solved in two of them using the following cpptraj input file:




parm x.prmtop
trajin x.mdcrd

centre :1-77 # Amino acids of the protein
image

centre :1-827 # Aa plus lipids of the membrane
image

strip :WAT
strip :Na+

trajout y.binpos

However in the other two (one with one protein and the other with the complex) keep giving imaging problems. Some of the membrane lipids appear on the one the other side of the box or the two proteins get apart instantaneously and one of them jump to the other side of the lipid membrane.

I have tried to solve this using autoimage and other combinations of image as well as unwrap the system protein-membrane.

Any advise is welcomed.

Thanks a lot!
