Re: excluding water in dcd files

Hi,

Your psfgen script looks fine (and quite typical). Perhaps you could
include a couple of lines from your output file showing your problem?

I can say that the PDB chain ID is column 22, between the three character
residue name and the four digit residue ID number. By reviewing the
psfgen source code I can tell you that this field is never used. The same
is true of the insertion code in column 28.

Psfgen uses the input PDB files only to extract sequence and coordinate
information. The beta, occupancy, etc. are not preserved for output.
