Richard,
Create a psf/pdb set for each seperate molecular
system (moleculeA.psf, moleculeA.pdb, moleculeB.psf, etc),
then in VMD use a script similar to the following:
package require psfgen
psfcontext reset
resetpsf
topology top_all22_prot.inp
readpsf moleculeA.psf
coordpdb moleculeA.pdb
readpsf moleculeB.psf
coordpdb moleculeB.pdb
writepsf myNewSystem.psf
writepdb myNewSystem.pdb
Best,
Chris
