Mark Hi Mark and other users,
Thanks for your reply and apologies for my English. If the chain identifiers are discarded by gromacs why do I than get from trjconv an output file looking like this when having more than one chain in the .trr file like in this example (part of .pdb file) ATOM 2776 O1 PHE A 336 32.109 64.621 29.258 1.00 0.00 ATOM 2777 O2 PHE A 336 30.372 64.241 30.505 1.00 0.00 ATOM 2778 N THR B 337 60.139 23.423 46.095 1.00 0.00 ATOM 2779 CA THR B 337 58.765 23.151 45.661 1.00 0.00 but not when I have only one chain in the .trr like in this example (part of .pdb file). ATOM 2776 O1 PHE 336 41.051 55.857 23.785 1.00 0.00 ATOM 2777 O2 PHE 336 42.809 56.115 22.532 1.00 0.00 VMD can unfortunately not do what I need so is there no way to get the chain identifier like in the first example?

Probably free software like VMD http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/ can do what you need without these chain problems, rather than the graphics program you're planning to use. I appreciate that English may not be your first language, but please do consider proof-reading your posts and/or using a spell-checker before you send. People on this list are much more likely to help you if you make it easy for them to do so, rather than work at trying to piece together your problem.
