Hi Jodi,
TI with different number of atoms is only allowed when soft-core
potential is implemented. Those "scmask"ed atoms can be different in
two prmtop files, and other atoms should have their coordinates
identical.
In the first step of your simulation, only TYR is considered. In the 2nd
step, two prmtop files with different number of atoms are considered,
but you have only one coordinates file from the 1st step. So you need to
do some modifications by adding or removing atoms from the coordinates
file. You can write a simple code to do this job. Be careful with the
format of coordinates file.
Good luck.
Ye MEI
