Ptraj that ships with Amber 8 should be able to do this. Although I haven't
verified that it works in all cases, periodic vs non-periodic boundaries
etc.
Look at page 196 of the Amber 8 manual.
Specifically you would want the following input file for ptraj (for amber to
charmm):
trajin inputtrajectory.traj.gz
trajout outputtrajectory charmm
Or for charmm to amber:
trajin inputtrajectory.dcd
trajout outputtrajectory trajectory
Note, in both cases you will need a valid amber prmtop file for your
molecule.
I hope this helps.
All the best

Subject: AMBER: Trajectory file conversion between Amber & Charmm
Greetings, I am a user of both Amber and Charmm. My research work involves
finding the trajectories of RNA molecules. In Amber, this information is
stored in a file called *.traj which I compressed in a file format
*.traj.gz. In Charmm, this information is stored in *.dcd. I use both Amber
and Charmm frequently. Sometimes, the same input data is run on both Amber
and Charmm because they give different information of interest. However,
this takes up a lot of computer resources and processing power.
My question, therefore, is that whether there exists a way to convert .traj
file formats interchangably from Amber to .dcd file formats in Charmm and
vice versa. Hope you can help!
