Hi huan, You can split the trajectories in parts using e.g. trjconv Also spend some thoughts on whether you need all that data. Do you really need the velocities/forces/high precision (.trr). Do you need the time resolution you have, or can you do with less. And did you include all solvent? D

Hi, Gromacs doesn't use residue numbers and atom numbers anyway. No problem just concatenating a la Justin. If you still have to run pdb2gmx, it may be better to have different chain identifiers. On tthe other hand, it may be better to run pdb2gmx before concatenation (which you probably have done

Hi Xuji, You'll have to have a coordinate file to start with, just like with your atomistic scale stuff. Whether this would be .pdb or .gro doesn't matter. If you have don't have coordinates, parameters are pretty useless. Maybe the Groningen guys are willingg to share you a .pdb file to play with

Hi Tatsiana, No. g_rms requires the input trajectory and the reference structure to match. Actually, the trajectory (if .xtc format) does not even contain information regarding the atoms; only coordinates. Tools depend wholly on the reference structure for information on atom/residue names, etc.
