Dear Sowmya,

Thank you for your suggestion.

However, I didn’t “wrap” the coordinates so, if I understand correct, I don’t need to do autoimage, right? Also, I wish to take as a reference the structure I load as a reference rather than the first frame.. Could modifications include these features?

Thank you,

Ruth

To depict this structural rearrangements, I wanted to use the nativecontacts command from CPPTRAJ in a manner that it would calculate the by residue native contacts present in the initial structure, given as a reference, and then show that these native contacts are lost and others are formed (non native contacts become native contacts) using the following input file:
