Hi,
Are you certain that the coordinates are actually mixed up? You state
that X should be about 60 or 70 but don't state why you think this
should be the case. Keep in mind that you're performing two
significant modifications of the system (imaging followed by
translation/rotation via coordinate RMS best-fit) which can result in
coordinates changing values significantly. Is the resulting structure
distorted somehow? Are there any other indications that the
coordinates are in fact wrong?
At this point (absent any other information or evidence) I think I
need to see the actual files themselves. Please send me off-list the
topology, the first frame of the trajectory in NetCDF format, and the
problematic PDB file. Or if the trajectory isn't too big (i.e. on the
order of a few MB) you can send the whole thing. Also, can you state
which version of cpptraj you are running? Thanks,
-Dan

If you look at the values in the PDB file for residues 127-131 this is shown as the X should be ~60/70 but instead this is in the place of the Z coordinate.
