Re: [AMBER] strange jump in the rmsd protein complex

Dear All,
After autoimage, I'm getting meaningful values as shown below (rmsd max
1.4), meaning that the system is well equilibrated and suitable for
analysis, right?
So do you recommend to always use the reimaged trajectory for analysis and
interpretation of conformations, interactions etc (especially when the
default option iwrap=0 was used during MD).

The manual says it has no effect on Es and forces, thus is it safe to
assume that the positive Amber FF Es that I got in other cases was not
related to "not performing" the autoimage before estimating SP Es (and was
related to aspects clarified by other in that thread)?
Looking forward to your valuable suggestions.
thanks and best regards.
