Hi amber users,

I'm running ptraj and carnal calculations over a
trajectory file: RMSD, Radius of Gyration,
Diffusion... using AMBER 7.

The original calculation is a NPT Molecular Dynamics
in CHCL3 solvent and box is a truncated octahedron (by
the way, I am not removing the solvent molecules).

My problem is that restart file (the reference
structure) for RMSD calculations shows a few lines
like the next ones:

 -59.4669830-843.8849945 568.4678259
-61.0471413-843.3087710 567.9562990
 -59.1762415-845.5550610 568.0020731
-59.1694863-843.5231680 570.1622704
  23.1586695************ 614.6020183
22.5738716************ 615.3055373
  21.2429737************ 615.9048135
23.5204386************ 616.6988130
  22.0676097************
614.2842942-122.6893699-820.1606461 566.1282299
-121.7230208-819.7652152
565.7821031-121.8842289-818.0902659 565.2730474
-120.6960708-819.9005674
567.2025316-121.1744701-820.7937262 564.4661219


Some of the coordinates are missing and instead a line
of asterisks appears. The problem is that probably the
length of the numerical chain is larger that the
maximum size.

These lines are problematic whenever I try to run
ptraj and carnal. The programs exit when they reach
those lines and print an error message in the logfile.

1) Does anyone know what I can do?
2) Do you think that removing solvent molecules might
help?
3) If I do not center the structures after removing
solvent molecules, do you believe it is still possible
to perform trustworthy diffusion analysis on the bare
trajectory?

Thank you very much in advance!!
