周期性边界总结：
如果是单聚体，
则 trjconv -pbc mol -ur compact -center, -fit rot+trans 即可（或者严谨一点，trjconv -pbc whole, -pbc mol -ur compact -center, -fit rot+trans ）
如果是多聚体，
如果是看整个sys的情况，trjconv -pbc whole（直接用whole，蛋白质在盒子里随机游走，键都是正确的。想使蛋白位于盒子中心，并且还能够看到正确的水分子：-pbc whole, -pbc nojump, -pbc mol -ur compact -center, -fit rot+trans，最后用vmd，dynamic bond看）
如果只看pro+lig复合物，trjconv -pbc whole, -pbc nojump -ur compact, -fit rot+trans -center
处理轨迹：
-s tpr 为reference structure，align的时候align到该结构上，而不是第一帧
-pbc 处理周期性边界（重点难点）:
* whole only makes broken molecules whole. 最好都做一下
* mol puts the center of mass of molecules in the box, and requires a run input file to be supplied with -s.
实践表明，当蛋白/DNA等只有一条链的时候，直接用-pbc mol处理轨迹，蛋白/DNA将被放置在盒子中间。但是当是二聚体时，mol选项不起作用，因为质心在中心有两种情况：分子本身在盒子中心；和两个单体分布在盒子两侧，平均质心依然在盒子中心。此时，-pbc mol无法正确的处理周期性边界。
* res puts the center of mass of residues in the box.
* atom puts all the atoms in the box. 把所有的原子都放在box里，李继存的笔记（http://blog.sciencenet.cn/blog-548663-981600.html）中讲到，可以选择一个处在（二聚体）分子中间的原子,
在index.ndx文件中添加这个中心组
[ center ]154
然后执行下面的命令
gmx trjconv -s npt.tpr -f prod_whole.xtc -n index.ndx -o prod_atom_center.xtc -pbc atom -center
提示时分别选择中心组（-center的时候，用154号原子作为中心）和DNA（输出）即可。处理后的构型如下
但是我尝试了该方法，不是很好用，
第一步处理轨迹：gmx_mpi trjconv -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o md_pbcwhole.xtc -pbc whole ，输出选0 System，得到的轨迹是whole的，二聚体在溶液中自由游走
第二步：选择一个二聚体中心的原子
gmx_mpi trjconv -f md_pbcwhole.xtc -s md.tpr -o md_pbcwhole_atom.xtc -pbc atom -center -n index.ndx（此命令并不能输出正确的system的情况，只能看pro+lig体系，而且还要写center原子，最后效果和直接-pbc whole一样，不采纳，详细结果如下：）
输出选择中心原子（写到index里）centering，选择0 System输出。结果
我试了选择pro+lig的index输出，虽然不再出现上述pbc的乱线，但是，并没有center，跟第一步输出结果差不多，蛋白质还是在溶液中游走。
* nojump checks if atoms jump across the box and then puts them back. This has the effect that all molecules will remain whole (provided they were whole in the initial conformation). Note that this ensures a continuous trajectory but molecules may diffuse out of the box. The starting configuration for this procedure is taken from the structure file, if one is supplied, otherwise it is the first frame.
采用nojump来处理：
用了nojump后，蛋白质和配体没有问题，但是水分子的周期性边界看起来乱七八糟的，应该是有bug
我试了 -pbc whole 之后，-pbc nojump, 再-center，蛋白质和配体没有问题，但对水分子没有用，再-pbc mol，大部分水分子恢复正常，采纳
* cluster clusters all the atoms in the selected index such that they are all closest to the center of mass of the cluster, which is iteratively updated. Note that this will only give meaningful results if you in fact have a cluster. Luckily that can be checked afterwards using a trajectory viewer. Note also that if your molecules are broken this will not work either.
gmx trjconv can convert trajectory files in many ways:
* from one format to another
* select a subset of atoms
* change the periodicity representation
* keep multimeric molecules together
* center atoms in the box
* fit atoms to reference structure
* reduce the number of frames
* change the timestamps of the frames (-t0 and -timestep)
* cut the trajectory in small subtrajectories according to information in an index file. This allows subsequent analysis of the subtrajectories that could, for example, be the result of a cluster analysis. Use option -sub. This assumes that the entries in the index file are frame numbers and dumps each group in the index file to a separate trajectory file.
* select frames within a certain range of a quantity given in an .xvg file.
gmx trjcat is better suited for concatenating multiple trajectory files.
The following formats are supported for input and output: .xtc, .trr, .gro, .g96 and .pdb. The file formats are detected from the file extension. The precision of the .xtc output is taken from the input file for .xtc, .gro and .pdb, and from the -ndec option for other input formats. The precision is always taken from -ndec, when this option is set. All other formats have fixed precision. .trr output can be single or double precision, depending on the precision of the gmx trjconv binary. Note that velocities are only supported in .trr, .gro and .g96 files.
Option -sep can be used to write every frame to a separate .gro, .g96 or .pdb file. By default, all frames all written to one file. .pdb files with all frames concatenated can be viewed with rasmol -nmrpdb. It is possible to select part of your trajectory and write it out to a new trajectory file in order to save disk space, e.g. for leaving out the water from a trajectory of a protein in water. ALWAYS put the original trajectory on tape! We recommend to use the portable .xtc format for your analysis to save disk space and to have portable files.
There are two options for fitting the trajectory to a reference either for essential dynamics analysis, etc. The first option is just plain fitting to a reference structure in the structure file. The second option is a progressive fit in which the first timeframe is fitted to the reference structure in the structure file to obtain and each subsequent timeframe is fitted to the previously fitted structure. This way a continuous trajectory is generated, which might not be the case when using the regular fit method, e.g. when your protein undergoes large conformational transitions.
Option -pbc sets the type of periodic boundary condition treatment:
* mol puts the center of mass of molecules in the box, and requires a run input file to be supplied with -s.
* res puts the center of mass of residues in the box.
* atom puts all the atoms in the box.
* nojump checks if atoms jump across the box and then puts them back. This has the effect that all molecules will remain whole (provided they were whole in the initial conformation). Note that this ensures a continuous trajectory but molecules may diffuse out of the box. The starting configuration for this procedure is taken from the structure file, if one is supplied, otherwise it is the first frame.
* cluster clusters all the atoms in the selected index such that they are all closest to the center of mass of the cluster, which is iteratively updated. Note that this will only give meaningful results if you in fact have a cluster. Luckily that can be checked afterwards using a trajectory viewer. Note also that if your molecules are broken this will not work either.
* whole only makes broken molecules whole.
Option -ur sets the unit cell representation for options mol, res and atom of -pbc. All three options give different results for triclinic boxes and identical results for rectangular boxes. rect is the ordinary brick shape. tric is the triclinic unit cell. compact puts all atoms at the closest distance from the center of the box. This can be useful for visualizing e.g. truncated octahedra or rhombic dodecahedra. The center for options tric and compact is tric (see below), unless the option -boxcenter is set differently.
Option -center centers the system in the box. The user can select the group which is used to determine the geometrical center. Option -boxcenter sets the location of the center of the box for options -pbc and -center. The center options are: tric: half of the sum of the box vectors, rect: half of the box diagonal, zero: zero. Use option -pbc mol in addition to -center when you want all molecules in the box after the centering.
Option -box sets the size of the new box. This option only works for leading dimensions and is thus generally only useful for rectangular boxes. If you want to modify only some of the dimensions, e.g. when reading from a trajectory, you can use -1 for those dimensions that should stay the same It is not always possible to use combinations of -pbc, -fit, -ur and -center to do exactly what you want in one call to gmx trjconv. Consider using multiple calls, and check out the GROMACS website for suggestions.
With -dt, it is possible to reduce the number of frames in the output. This option relies on the accuracy of the times in your input trajectory, so if these are inaccurate use the -timestep option to modify the time (this can be done simultaneously). For making smooth movies, the program gmx filter can reduce the number of frames while using low-pass frequency filtering, this reduces aliasing of high frequency motions.
Using -trunc gmx trjconv can truncate .trr in place, i.e. without copying the file. This is useful when a run has crashed during disk I/O (i.e. full disk), or when two contiguous trajectories must be concatenated without having double frames.
Option -dump can be used to extract a frame at or near one specific time from your trajectory, but only works reliably if the time interval between frames is uniform.
Option -drop reads an .xvg file with times and values. When options -dropunder and/or -dropover are set, frames with a value below and above the value of the respective options will not be written.
