Dear Maxim,
Thanks for your help, it works perfectly. I will put all the steps for
future reference (the least that I can do).
On VMD (PDB loaded with the beta 1 and 2 atoms)
set sel1 [atomselect top "beta == 1"]
set sel2 [atomselect top "beta == 2"]
#### For the beta 1 set of atoms #####
set ch1 [open beta1.txt w]
puts $ch1 "[$sel1 get Index]"; # single line with serial numbers (1-based
indicies)
close $ch1
#################################
#### For the beta 2 set of atoms #####
set ch2 [open beta2.txt w]
puts $ch2 "[$sel1 get Index]"; # single line with serial numbers (1-based
indicies)
close $ch2
#################################
Tcl force
###############Replace the atom selection part of the Tcl force script for
this ########
# Atoms selected for force application
set ch1 [open beta1.txt r]
set atomindex1 [read $ch1]
close $ch1
set ch2 [open beta2.txt r]
set atomindex2 [read $ch2]
close $ch2
set a1 [addgroup $atomindex1]
set a2 [addgroup $atomindex2]
#########################
Thanks again, my weekend was saved
Daniel
