Carlos,
I've worked through the relevant sections of the amber manual, but
apparently ptraj doesn't do it.

It does things like averaging, PCA and NMA analysis, but It doesn't seem
to go far enough to produce a set of structure clusters based on their
mutual rmsd or generate representative pdb-formatted structures from a
run. If it does, and I missed something, I would very much appreciate if
someone could provide a reference to the relevant line in the manual
(I'm using Amber 9.0). None of the examples in the manual or in
tutorials show how to get actual representative pdb structures from a
trajectory.

As a side note, Ross Walker mentioned in his Tutorial 8, section 6.2,
that in order to run cluster analysis, one requires MMTSB toolset. I did
find the distribution, but have been unable to compile it just yet
(surprise...).

So, if ptraj actually can produce a set of representative pdb structures
from a trajectory via clustering, any pointers would be very much
appreciated. Having an example would be simply terrific.

Thanks in advance

Sasha
