[gmx-users] Secondary structure not visible afterconverting from .gro to .pdb

Hey,

The .gro file format has no information about chains, so it won't write any
when converting to PDB, and Pymol gets mixed up, stopping after the first
chain. A solution is to use trjconv and a tpr file to convert the .gro file
to .pdb. The chains will then be set according to the molecules defined in
the .tpr.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
