Dear Community,
 
I am planning to run a NAMD simulation on HIS-ARG peptide. I have XYZ coordinates of this system. Can any one suggest how to generate pdb and psf files from this XYZ system. Is, VMD a good help to do this. Your suggestions are really appreciated.
 
regards
Sridhar Vaddadi

Hi community,
 
Can someone help me better understand the precision of the output coordinate data.
 
I am looking for statistically significant movement of the center of mass of a large molecule. Using VMD's measure center command returns angstroms out to 15 decimal places and looks quite tempting.
 
If the last 12 or so decimal places had meaning I could significantly reduce the runtime for my system.
 
How can I determine how many of these digits are significant?
 
Thank you in advance.
