Re: [AMBER] PCA inconsistency on number of frames

Hi,

It's important to check the errors and warnings printed by cpptraj. I
think the main issue is revealed by these messages:

Error: # atoms in current topology (19712) != # atoms in coords set
"muOR-trajectories" (19680)
Error: Setup failed for [createcrd]

Warning: Topology '02_6DDE_BU72_PAM_nowater.prmtop' selected # atoms
(19712) > original topology '01_6DDE_BU72_nowater.prmtop' (19680)
19712 atoms will be averaged for '02_6DDE_BU72_PAM_nowater.prmtop'.

These stem from the fact that you are reading in two trajectories that
correspond to different topologies (19680 vs 19712 atoms), but in many
of these commands you're not e.g. selecting a common subset of atoms.
If you want to perform a combined principal component analysis on both
trajectories, you should strip the trajectories down to a common
subset of atoms first. The procedure for doing this was recently
discussed on the mailing list; see
http://archive.ambermd.org/202106/0167.html

Also, if possible I recommend using a more updated version of cpptraj
(which should at least have better warnings and error checking). Hope
this helps,

-Dan
