Hi Dr. Gianluca,
I tried it but could not make it work. I dont have this information for sure in my dcd file. I didnt really understand the pdb stuff you said. Should I construct A PDB FILE in the fashion you said or should i save this from end of my dcd file using .coor file or how. where exactly should i given the unit cell coordinates? I am sorry for this trouble but if you can elaborate a more, it will solve my problem.
Thanks n regards
Harish
