Re: [AMBER] closest command

Hi,

Have you tried visualizing your topology and trajectory (comp-696w.top
/ comp-696w.mdcrd)? According to this output your first molecule has
an atom # of 6028, which doesn't seem right. This combined with the
zero values in the distance column, as well as the repeating sequence
of closest molecules (always 0 to 9), makes me think that something
has gone wrong with either the topology, the trajectory, or both. Note
that in the output from cpptraj 'closest closestout' both atom #s and
molecule numbers start from 0.
