Hi,

> I installed the version V6.19.5 (GitHub) OpenMP. As I have a parallel strand DNA with 24 residues, ideally I want the base pair parameters for every base pair, like (1, 13), (2, 14), ..., (12, 24). But actually I got only several base pairs for shear, stretch, stagger, buckle, prop, open, hb, bp. Using the option "guessbp" or "guessbp bptype para" gives the same result. Using the option "calcnohb" also didn't show all the base pairs. Is there anything I did wrong?

By default, 'nastruct' determines base pairing using the first frame
as a reference. My guess is that your first frame may not have all
base pairs present according to the default base pairing criteria. You
can either adjust the base pair criteria, provide a reference
structure that contains all desired base pairing, or use the
'allframes' keyword to determine base pairs for each individual frame.
The 'allframes' option may be the simplest one.

Hope this helps,
