Hi Zhenting,
I didn't fully understand what you tried to do by aligning the original PDB to the solvated protein, but maybe what you could do is to save a pdb after the GIST calculation, so you have it oriented in the same way as the one used for the calculation.
You can try using 'trajout ref-frame.pdb onlyframes 1', in that way you will extract the first frame of your trajectory oriented in the same way as for the GIST calculation.
I hope this helps you!
Best,
Reyes

Hi Lin and Anselm,
Thanks for your help.
I get your point regarding the cpptraj operations.
My goal is to get a solvated box with protein coordinates aligned to the original pdb file, before MD simulation.
Why I want to do this?
I am learning GIST, and of the tutorial(
https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial25/section3.php), solute heavy atoms(protein) are restrained, so there is no translational and rotational movement during the simulation.
When it is to define the region for GIST analysis, the ligand is co-crystal pdb is used as reference.
Since the solvated box does not align to the original pdb, I have to generated the pdb file of the solvated system(use "ambpdb"), align the original PDB to the solvated protein, and then save the coordinates of the aligned ligand. This is not a big deal, but if I can have the solvated protein aligned to the original pdb at the beginning, then I don't need to do all these stuffs.
Any further thoughts?
Regards
Zhenting
