Subject: Re: AMBER: closest water molecules with 8 angstroms

You can use the command "watershell" in ptraj.
Take a look at the manual, but supposing your beta-cyclodextrine is the
first residue in your simulation file, you can use something like this:

ptraj myprmtop.prmtop << eof
trajin mymd.mdcrd
watershell :1 wshell.dat lower 3.5 upper 8.0
eof

This will compute (and write to file wshell.dat) the number of water
molecules in the first and second solvation shell, which you can specify in
the input.
In the case above, I used 3.5 and 8.0 Ang within residue 1.

Hope this helps,
