OK...but now you have a non-periodic system (since you've removed most of the
waters). So it won't work to just put back in the box information. If you
want to follow exactly what was done in the reference you chose, you'll have
to read what they did after deleting all those water molecules.

[Note that Amber users generally would have no need to strip away all those
water molecules if the intent was to continue with QM/MM calculations. Are
you sure the authors weren't just doing pure QM or something after stripping
the distant waters?]

This can't be debugged remotely: you will have to look at atoms 49 and 54 and
try to figure out what is going on. (From your report, I can't even tell what
program you are running....)

Use the "lastframe" option to trajin. Type "help trajin" at the cpptraj
prompt to get lots of useful information.
