Thank you for your reply.

To analyse trajectories using cpptraj, .prmtop files are a requirement. So,
how can I combine various trajectories that were generated from different
prmtop files?

Is it possible to strip the .prmtop to contain only the peptide information
and then load all stripped trajectories ?
