Dear Rui,

Thanx for the explanation. I did not know that VMD only calculates the
secondary structure fort he first frame only. Is there an option to
calculate the secondary structure (say in New cartoon representation)
of all the frames in the trajectory?



You can use the Tcl interface to do it - the ssrecalc() function is designed for that. Check out the VMD user's guide and their mailing list forum for how to use it.

Even more quantitative, though, is to use do_dssp to get a plot of secondary structure evolution.

Dear Aditi,

What do you mean with "evolution of the protein structure"? Are you referring to
*secondary structure*? By default, VMD only calculates it for the first 
trajectory frame.

Dear All,

When I am loading the GROMACS trajectory in VMD, I cannot the
evolution of the protein structure with time.

When I am creating pdb files from the trajectory at different time
steps using the dump option, I do see changes in the protein structure
with time. My final structure after the MD simulation is also a lot
different that my start. However, when loading the trajectory, I do
not see a gradual/drastic transition from the starting to the final
conformation in VMD.

Please suggest where am I going wrong.

Thank you
