I doubt that it is related to the removal of CM motion.
you haven't said what your system is- could it be that you
have more than 1 molecule of solute (like a DNA
duplex) where one monomer has been imaged? Have you visually
checked the dynamics of the system to make sure that all
molecules (if more than 1) stay together?
