Re: Analysis of NAMD output with CHARMM

Hi,

are you sure it is the psf that causes problems?
Could it be the PDB file? Either that you have too many water molecules
per segment or that Charmm does not read the pdb correctly. I have had
problems reading pdb files with the latest versions of Charmm. How did
you generate the input PDB for your simulation? Psfgen or charmm ?
