Re: [AMBER] problem with "closest" waters being wrapped

Hi,

You should try using the "noimage" keyword with the closest command; I think that should do what you want.

I run into the same problem whether I autoimage before implementing "closest" or after (same as with my original centering/imaging sequence). I still keep getting a trajectory where some of the "closest" waters end up on the wrong side of the unit cell.

Ideally I would like to save these waters (+ solute) to a new trajectory and delete the originals, as I am low on disc space. My problem is that since I used iwrap, waters that were close to the edge of the primary unit cell are wrapped around to the other side. Presumably all the information is there to build a trajectory where this isn't the case and all the waters are in their "actual" positions with respect to the protein. Here is my current sequence of steps in ptraj:
