[gmx-users] File editing - only one layer of water around a molecule

[Lara Bunte]

Hi

I have the command 


trjconv -n index.ndx -f molecule.pdb -o output.pdb


that don't work because of the missing topol.tpr file. You wrote:

>Supply your .pdb file to the -s flag

Where exactly do I have to write -s in my command? 


Thanks for help

Greetings
Lara

Supply your .pdb file to the -s flag.  Sorry for my confusion.  If your desired output requires atom names, etc. you must invoke -s to read those names.  An .xtc file is agnostic to all this information.  Thus in your case, you need a source of atom/residue naming.  A .tpr file is not strictly required for this purpose, but again, be mindful of what Gromacs expects as default input - that is why the error is coming up.  Under most circumstances for trjconv operations, a .tpr file is passed to -s, but in your case, a .pdb will suffice.
