Re: [AMBER] Help with imagining curled protein

Hi,

if you used iwrap=1 in your simulation, you can simply try to undo this
by the cpptraj command "unwrap". For this, I'd delete the water
molecules first and then use the unwrap command without any further
mask. If this works for you, and you really need not only a continous
protein system trajectory (for postprocessing) but also a correctly
imaged system, you may want to temper around with the image command
afterwards.
See AmberTools 21 34.11.84 (p. 738)

I had worked with filamentous proteins and often had the issue, that
single peptide moieties leaving the simulation box where automatically
wrapped (because I used iwrap=1); when trying the imaging approach, it
did not work in all my cases (and I essentially tried similar commands
like you).

Maybe that helps.

Best,

Anselm

I want to post-process the energetics with an implicit solvent, but I’m concerned that the results will be meaningless unless I figure out how to image the protein correctly.
