Hello,

Somehow I thought that it is acceptable to use cubic periodic boundary
box, but a rectangular periodic boundary box isn't, in order to compare
concentrations with experimental bulk values. Is it a common practice to
use a rectangular periodic boundary box for all-atom simulations?

Thank you.
Sincerely,
