Dear Gromacs users,

I minimized a protein structure 1IARcompleted_WT.pdb, getting, among others, the files 1IARcompleted_WT_minimized.trr and 1IARcompleted_WT_minimized_potential_energy.xvg . Looking at the latter file showed the last frame to be at 217 ps:

.

.

@    title "Gromacs Energies"

@    xaxis  label "Time (ps)"

@    yaxis  label "(kJ/mol)"

.

.

@ s0 legend "Potential"

    0.000000  -31997.519531

    0.000000  -33810.406250

  200.000000  -69850.609375

  217.000000  -69898.031250

I wanted to extract only this last frame from the .trr file, so used

trjconv -f 1IARcompleted_WT_minimized.trr -o 1IARcompleted_WT_minimized_217.trr -dump 217

However, this seems to have produced a file with the t = 200 ps conformation, though the dump parameter was recorded, as trjconv output was:

.

.

Option       Type   Value   Description

------------------------------------------------------

.

.

-dump        time   217     Dump frame nearest specified time (ps)

.

.

Will write trr: Trajectory in portable xdr format

trn version: GMX_trn_file (single precision)

Reading frame       2 time  200.000

Dumping frame at t= 200 ps

Reading frame       3 time  217.000

.

.

Also, using -dump 200 gave an identical file to the above.

Any idea why the expected timeframe isn't reproduced?

I'm using gromacs 4.5.3.


Your nstxout parameter means not every frame is written. Prior to the implementation of checkpointing, the final frame was written to the .trr regardless of nstxout, but that no longer occurs. The final frame is in your checkpoint file, and you can use that anywhere you might use a coordinate file - including trjconv to get a simple coordinate file from it.
