[gmx-users] How to visualizing gro file in pymol

[Catarina A. Carvalheda dos Santos]

Hi Anu,

You can always use ediconf to convert your .gro file into a .pdb file =)

For multiple chain systems Pymol needs the chain information in the
structure file. Because .gro files don't have the chain info, you'll always
need a .pdb file.
If this is your case, that's the reason why the cartoon representation
isn't working.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
