Re: How can I do protein complex's simulation?

When you generate your psf, you need to have two segments (and
therefore two pdbs), one for each chain. You can use VMD to first
write out a pdb for each chain. Then you'll need something like this
in your psfgen script:

segment A {pdb A.pdb}
coordpdb A.pdb A
segment B {pdb B.pdb}
coordpdb B.pdb B

Let us know if this isn't clear.
