Re: [AMBER] Question about mask command

Hi,

After running with the files you provided everything seems to be
working fine for me. Using the input and the files you provided like
so:

parm run.prmtop
trajin frame11.mdcrd
strip :158.H*
mask "(:158<:4)&!:158" maskout mask.out maskpdb mask.pdb
distance :158.O .58 out dist_11_58.dat

the generated PDB appears OK (pic attached). The distance you get from
the 'distance' command (7.0195) is indeed larger than 4 Ang, but this
is because you specified you wanted *residues* within 4 Ang, not
*atoms*, so if any part of the residue is within 4 Ang it is selected.
However, I'm not seeing distances up to 34 Ang - the largest I see in
the PDB is 16.158 Ang.

I recommend upgrading to at least the latest AmberTools version of
cpptraj (15) - there have been many fixes since version 14.

Hope this helps,

-Dan
