![]() ![]() Step 2: Identify the Protein Residues that Line the Active Site Now, your first frame is also ready for our clustering exercise. (Or you can use the command lines shown above). Edit the PDB file in an editor like vi, gedit, etc to remove the VMD-generated header.Click on the “Save…” button and save the PDB file first_frame.pdb.In the Frames section, set First and Last to 0, and Stride to 1.Right click on the trajectory name in the VMD main menu.You also will need to prepare a separate PDB file for the first frame of your trajectory. Tip: Instead of generating multi-frame PDB files of the trajectories in VMD gui, you can alternatively use a cpptraj script to get the same output. These two things could be done by any text editor, but it will be faster to do by running command lines like below in your terminal. Second, we need to replace the END delimiters used by VMD to separate frames by the ENDMDL delimiters that Gromacs uses. First, we need to delete the VMD-generated header. Now we need to edit the trajectory.pdb file to be Gromacs-compatible.Click on the “Save…” button and save the PDB file trajectory.pdb.In the “Selected Atoms” field, type protein.Now right click on the trajectory name in the VMD main menu.Or to align by all backbone atoms, replace protein with backbone. To align by all alpha carbons, for example, replace protein with name CA. Change this to whatever atom selection you wish to use to align the trajectory. In the new window that popped up, the large text box initially contains the selection protein. In VMD, click on Extensions => Analysis => RMSD Trajectory Tool. For example, one might choose to first align the trajectory by the protein alpha carbons, and then to cluster based on the positions of the residue atoms lining the active site. Align the trajectory: It is typical to align the trajectory by certain atoms and then to do the clustering by another atom set.prmtop file) and the coordinates file (.NC file) in VMD. Thus, we start by converting our trajectory into PDB format so that Gromacs can read.
