[AMBER] Problems with RMSF calculations

   I have a total of 500 ns trajectory - 250 + 250 ns - starting from the same
   eq.rst file. I calculated the RMSF (wrt to the first frame as the reference)
   for this 500 ns using this cpptraj script:

   parm ../../prod/pd1/wt.prmtop
   trajin ../../prod/pd1/[1]wt_[2]pd.nc
   trajin ../../prod/pd2/[3]wt_[4]pd.nc
   reference ../../prod/pd1/[5]wt_[6]pd.nc 1
   rms .CA reference
   atomicfluct out RMSF.dat .CA byres
   run


   I would expect the RMSF calculated using this script to give the average
   RMSF from the two production runs but it seems that the RMSF calculated
   using the input above is not the true average of the two trajectories.


   The attached graph will make it clearer.
   comp_mean.png contains the RMSF calculated using cpptraj for the entire PD1
   and PD2 and for PD1 + PD2. I have also plotted here the mean RMSFs (for 10ns
   chunks) for PD 1 and PD 2 that I calculated using python. Am I using the
   RMSF script incorrectly? I want to calculate the residue-wise fluctuations
   of the Ca atoms of the peptide backbone of my entire simulation (i.e. PD 1
   and 2 combined).


   Thanks a lot in advance for all the help!
