Hi Deepti,
I suggest that you work through the tutorials on the AMBER website. These
will explain to you simple things like why VMD is giving you a straight line
when loading a restart file (simple answer is you are selecting the wrong
file format).
As for the AMBPDB command not working - was ambertools installed on your
machine? - Do you have AMBERHOME/exe in your path? How about trying
$AMBERHOME/exe/ambpdb? If ambertools and amber was installed it is highly
unlikely that ambpdb is not there since it is one of the first things to get
built.
As for pdbs - you could use ptraj to make yourself a pdb.
>cat foo.traj
trajin foo.rst
trajout foo.pdb
>$AMBERHOME/exe/ptraj foo.prmtop < foo.traj
You could also use Sirius (sirius.sdsc.edu) this can read a whole range of
amber output and write many different file formats. Again there is a
tutorial on the AMBER website that shows you how to do this sort of thing.

Hello,
I have used amber for minimising the energy of a molecule. and want to
see the molecule. AMBPDB command is not working on my pc and the error is
that the command is not found. I have a parallel MPI version of AMBER. What
should I do to get it in the pdb format. I could nto do it using VMD it is
giving straight line there.
Could you guuide me regarding it.
Thanking you!!!!
