Hi Jason,
Thanks for your help. I just want to make sure of something. Do you have an
easy way of creating the topology files for the two subunit system? I'm
thinking of replicating the system using, maybe, PropPDBmodule and taking
it to tleap. Is that fine?
Also the processing of the trajectory to contain only the two images I'm
interested in; do you know of an easy way yo do it? Is there a way in ptraj
I can do it?
Ahmed
