You could do something like this in the VMD console:

 

set a [atomselect top "(same residue as (water within 3 of protein)) or
protein"]

$a writepdb "protein_with_shell.pdb"

 

You can do the same using File->Save Coordinates with the atomselection text
above.

Betreff: vmd-l: reg extracting coordinates for first water shell.

 

hi,

I have a complex surrounded by water and protein. i wanna look at the the
atom interacting with my molecule. I would like to extract the information
of coordinates interacting on the surface of the atom of my molecule. Then i
would like to extract the coordinates for it. for further doing QM/MM
calculation. Any idea in this regard is welcome.
