Hey Ruth,
Yes, you can include the reference as anything you mention, sorry I forgot to mention it in my previous email. if you don't want to re-image your coordinates, you can avoid this.
Just add the reference flag in the contact command after having defined what the reference structure is.
Also refer to page 600 (
http://ambermd.org/doc12/Amber16.pdf) for more info. about the same.
I hope this helps,
Regards
Sowmya

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:
