[gmx-users] problem with protein secondary structure analysis

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Minnale,

We do appreciate that english is not your native language (it isn't
mine either), but please try to write correct, complete sentences.
That will make it easier to read your posts, understand what you did
and where you went wrong and how we can, maybe, provide you a
solution.

Justins reply was right on, and you didn't read his post carefully
enough. He said to check your xtc-grps, not your tc-grps. xtc-grps, as
it is unambiguously explained in the manual, determines which sets of
atoms are saved to the .xtc file. To avoid such confusion, make it a
habit to paste the .mdp file when you post a problem (after having
checked the manual, the wiki, and the archives of the list, that is).

Cheers,

Tsjerk
