Re: [AMBER] How to separate a protein complex to its components

Hi,

You can use cpptraj to manipulate PDB files like this. If you load the
PDB using cpptraj you can see it has 4 molecules:

$ cpptraj
> parm ras-raf.pdb
> molinfo
#Mol Natom #Res Name
    1 2621 1 MET
    2 1241 167 ASN
    3 44 243 GTP
    4 1 244 MG

This tells you what residue ranges correspond to which molecules. To
generate RAS, you can then load the RAS-RAF PDB and strip away
everything but RAS:

> loadcrd ras-raf.pdb name RAS
> crdaction RAS strip !:1-166
> crdout RAS RAS.pdb

Then repeat for RAF:

> loadcrd ras-raf.pdb name RAF
> crdaction RAF strip !:167-242
> crdout RAF RAF.pdb

All of these commands can be put into a single script. Hope this helps,

-Dan
