<strong>Tutorial</strong> Steps<br />

18. Select Buffer from the Box size calculation method field.<br />

19. Enter 10.0 in the Distances (Å) field.<br />

20. Check the Show boundary box option and click the Calculate button. The System Builder<br />

can also be instructed to minimize the volume of the simulation box by aligning the<br />

principal axes of the solute along the box vectors or the diagonal. This can save computational<br />

time if the solute is not allowed to rotate in the simulation box.<br />

After setting all these options, the Workspace displays the solute and the boundary<br />

box as shown in Figure 1.13.<br />
