segment U {pdb aaa.pdb
mutate resid 4 GLN}

 

I believe the new line after the pdb is very important here.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I tried several options, including

 

"segment U {pdb aaa.pdb mutate resid 4 GLN}"

 

"segment U {pdb aaa.pdb}
mutate resid 4 GLN"

 

Followed by

 

"coordpdb aaa1.pdb U
guesscoor

writepdb ala1.pdb
writepsf ala1.psf
exit"

And at the beginning, I put

 

"package require psfgen
topology top_all22_prot.inp"

Vmd Tkconsol always gives this information:

 

"building segment U
reading residues from pdb file aaa1.pdb
extracted 3 residues from pdb file
Info: generating structure...
Info: skipping conformation N-CA-C-N at end of segment.
Info: segment complete.
too many arguments specified
MOLECULE DESTROYED BY FATAL ERROR! Use resetpsf to start over."

 

If you are interested, you can have a try.

 

Thanks again.

 

Boyang.

I think the mutate command goes in your segment generation statement.

So instead of

> mutate resid 4 GLN
> segment U {pdb aaa.pdb}

try

segment U {pdb aaa.pdb
mutate resid 4 GLN}
