Hello, thank you a lot for fixing this in trjconv, but now there is another
problem, but perhaps this is simpler to solve. Since my system is formed of
a protein dimer in a DPPC membrane, trjconv has renumbered my protein
residues starting from one for every new chain. What I mean is: for chain A,
protein starts with residue 1 and ends at residue 30, but for chain B,
instead of continuing from residue 31 until residue 60 and than continue to
residue 61 of DPPC etc, the numbering starts over. So Chain A is numbered
from 1 to 30, then Chain B also from 1 to 30 and then DPPC starts at residue
31.....etc. The main problem is that I have a few scripts that analyse my
structure files extracted from my trajectory and they rely on the sequential
numbering of the residues.
Is there a way to make the numbering go back to the original format?
Thanks
