NAB atom expressions are different than those in the rest of Amber: they
have three sections (chain (aka strand, aka molecule), residue, atom), and
the residue numbers start over at 1 for each new chain.

Hence, you atom expression selects residues numbered 1-231 in each chain: this
will include the ligand (which is presumably the first residue in the second
chain.) What you probably want is "1::" (for the entire first molecule).
