Hi Dan,

Thanks for your feed-back ...

The trajectories were calculated with NAMD 2.11 and 2.12 ... I thought
of doing one last check using the github version of cpptraj with the
"ucell" keyword ... If this also does not solve the issue, I will
provide you the top and trajectory file off the list

Best
Vlad
