Re: [AMBER] mismatch pdb files when created using ambpdb and savepdb

Hi,

One simple way you can check if the number of waters etc is indeed
different between the Amber parm file and the PDB is to load each into
cpptraj and compare output from the 'parminfo' command, e.g.

$ ~/Amber/amber14/bin/cpptraj tz2.truncoct.parm7

CPPTRAJ: Trajectory Analysis. V14.05
    ___ ___ ___ ___
     | \/ | \/ | \/ |
    _|_/\_|_/\_|_/\_|_
Reading 'tz2.truncoct.parm7' as Amber Topology
> parminfo
        Topology tz2.truncoct.parm7 contains 5827 atoms.
                1882 residues.
                1870 molecules.
                5834 bonds (5711 to H, 123 other).
                402 angles (233 with H, 169 other).
                853 dihedrals (481 with H, 372 other).
                Box: Trunc. Oct.
                1869 solvent molecules.
                Final solute residue is 13
                GB radii set: modified Bondi radii (mbondi)
