Dear Kristina,
Thanks for your reply. I used the nobob keyword and was able to get the
average structure. but now i face anotherproblem when i tru to use the
mdcrd file thus created to generate the pdb files for all the frames. the
x y z coordinates of these files are too large and some even have *******
at many places. Onthe other hand Iif I use the mdcrd file created without
using the nobox keyword, the generated pdb files seem to be ok. Do you
have any suggestions for this?
Thanks once again.
With best regards,
Anshul
