Hi Melinda,

Thanks for replying. I have a ligand bound to a macro molecule with two water molecules forming hydrogen bonding bridges at two different loci between the binding site and two different nitrogen rich groups of the ligand. I would like to extract coordinates from a trajectory for the ligand part of a complex including two water molecules that make hydrogen bonding interactions with those nitrogen rich groups of the ligand.

Your assistance for providing me with such a useful script to meet the criteria mentioned above would be greatly acknowledged.

my best regards,

Jenk

We use several standard scripts here to grab frames where a previously generated data file is within a specified criteria, and skip frames that don't match that criteria. Ptraj is a tool, but if you have new ideas you can't be afraid to try things on your own.

Good luck.

This is in addition to my previous E-Mail.
I was also wondering if the ptraj command "contacts" would meet my requirements .

Dear AMBER developers,

I would appreciate it very much if someone in the future add a useful command in ptraj that would enable me to extract only certain snapshots of a trajectory in which one or more water molecules (user should also have an option with numbers, like one to infinity would be nice !) within a H-bonding distance to a defined atom(s) in a binding site or on a bound ligand and recompile those selected snapshots into a new trajectory. This idea would get me a good paper I believe.

best regards,

Jenk.
