[Chimera-users] Bug (?) with EnsembleCluster

[Francesco Pietra]

Eric: I followed previous route from combined mdcrd from ptraj. 

Removed remaining water.

select ligand z<2.5

as Chimera command; (this was the minimum, selecting 244 atoms, 118 of which
for the ligand; with z<2.0 the ligand only is selected)

On playing the pdb (saved for selected atoms only) (with LOOP deselected) the
atom selection increased, reaching 5365 atoms at the last (549) frame. In
another run, with z<4.0 the course of atom selection was similar, reaching 5993
atoms at frame 549.

This huge number of atoms proved problematic for opening pdb. For the z<2.5
case I left the computer on for 4h and half, with python occupying 98% of the
available MEM (nearly 1GB). I had to kill gnome to recover command.

May be with much more MEM it will work, though I can't check that now.

I did not try to combine the trajectories with Chimera as I have no indication
that those from ptraj are faulty. The pdb files for both z<2.5 and z<4.0 open
in vmd.
