Hi,
Just to add to what Jason said, if you do end up deciding on a metric
(such as an RMSD cutoff) you can run the calculation on the entire
REMD ensemble at once (with cpptraj) by reading in your replica
trajectories with the ensemble command. For example, say you have 4
temperature replica trajectories named rem.1, rem.2, rem.3, and rem.4;
you can read and calculate RMSD for the sorted ensemble like so:
reference folded.rst7
ensemble rem.1
rmsd reference .CA out rmsd.dat
After the calculation rmsd.dat will have 5 columns; the #Frame column,
followed by 1 column for the RMSD at each temperature (increasing).
