Re: Different resid in pdb fie but showing same molecule in VMD

Hi Rabeta,

This looks like duplicate residue numbers. If you generated this structure
using psfgen and your molecule had > 9999 waters in the same segment,
psfgen ends up creating multiple waters with the same residue number.

The only way around that I know is manually re-segmenting the waters using
a tcl script. Basically, define waters 1 - 9999 as segment 1, waters 10000
- 19999 as segment 2 (renumber them from 1 to 9999) etc. That way psfgen
won't have to handle resid > 9999.

Hope this helps,
Chitrak.
