Dan,

Thank you. That works.

ambermd website and any tutorials are not loading today. I don't know why.

 I always look at manual first but today it is not loading either.

So I found this in one from the email archives:

 Anyway, thank you for your quick response.

Once you trajin the correct trajectory file, the general command for
calculating the distance between two atoms should be something like this:

distance DIST .atom_number1 .atom_number2 out dist.out

Or for your specific case, it should be:

distance DIST .256 .399 out dist.out

You could also use the residues numbers and atom types:

distance DIST :154.OE1 :45.OD2

Either of these last two commands should give you the exact same results
for
your system.

Good luck!
