[gmx-developers] Retaining chain name and original residue numbers in “.pdb” output after mdrun

[Paul bauer]

Hello,

it is better to ask this stuff at the forum (gromacs.bioexcel.eu) now 
and maybe repeat the question there, or check if there are similar 
questions already.

This list is only for things related to the GROMACS software development :)

If you think that the behavior you describe is a bug, please check the 
open issues here (https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues) if 
something similar has already been filed and if not open a new issue for it.

Cheers

Paul
