Dear AMBER experts.


Applying AMBE14 and AmberTools15, I have simulated a protein in membrane by MD in periodic cell.

The next step is calculation of the average structure from
the fragment of the production trajectory that satisfies a desired protein
backbone RMSD condition.

Finally, to obtain a representative protein structure the latter step must be minimization.


The adequate minimization of a membarne protein can be conducted in
membrane environment only. That is why I have accounted in the averaging procedure

the whole soup in the periodic cell: protein, membrane, water, and counter ions.

In this purpose I have applied the following cpptraj script:


parm ../*.prmtop

trajin prod4.mdcrd 3000 10000

center :1-9308 mass origin

autoimage origin

rms first .C,CA,N

average average_prod4_3000-10000.pdb PDB

run

quit



The problem I faced is that despite the final pdb file contains also
solvent water molecules and counter ions their coordinates are corrupted.

Water molecules and counter ions are collapsed

in a very small condensed area in the center of periodic cell
like in a black hole.


What command lines should be added to the cpptraj script in order to resolve the problem?


Thank you,

Michael
