Why do you think there should be 298 CA atoms? ptraj/rdparm is
recognizing the atom selection ".CA" as listed (a subset is below)
> :1.CA,:6.CA,:10.CA,:16.CA,:17.CA,:21,CA,:22.CA,:26.CA,:31,CA,:32.CA
This suggests that residues 2-5 do not contain an atom named CA. If ptraj
is not matching correctly, i.e. residues 2-5 *do* indeed each contain an
atom named CA, then please let me know and send me the prmtop file so I
can figure out why they are not matched. You can see what the prmtop has
by reading it in via rdparm and using the atoms command
atoms .CA
you can also use the "checkmask" command in rdparm to show what ptraj is
selecting for a given mask choice.
(you can also see what atoms are present by creating a PDB file and
looking at this by hand).
