Dear Mark, 

   Previously you suggested to try running dssp independently on a single 
snapshot extracted from the trajectory,I took the snapshot of the protein 
after 1ns with the command 

trjconv -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o time_1000ps.pdb -dump 1000

then ran dssp program by using the command 

dsspcmbi time_1000ps.pdb DSSPtime_1000ps.pdb 

 The program ran successfully,but again when I used 
 
do_dssp -s md.tpr -f time_1000ps.pdb 
  
the program is taking lot of time.I do not understand where I am making the  
mistake, please help and give me solution.Thanks in advance.


regards
SANGEEA
