do_dssp calls external dssp program to do the calculation which is slow but shall not take "lot of time"
. For fast execution of DSSP, you may consider using my_dssp.

Go to your gromacs source directory:
./configure
make
cd src/contrib
make my_dssp

Dear Mark, Previously you suggested to try running dssp independently on a single snapshot extracted from the trajectory,I took the snapshot of the protein after 1ns with the command
trjconv -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -o time_1000ps.pdb -dump 1000

then ran dssp program by using the command dsspcmbi time_1000ps.pdb DSSPtime_1000ps.pdb The program ran successfully,but again when I used do_dssp -s md.tpr -f time_1000ps.pdb the program is taking lot of time.I do not understand where I am making the mistake, please help and give me solution.Thanks in advance.

Dear All,

I want to analyze the secondary structure of a protein after a
10ns
simulation run. Previously I faced difficulty in running dssp program,So
in
order to  give a test run I ran the do_dssp program  for  100ps
trajectory
only for a protein containing 130 residues.The program continued for
more
than 4 days, yet it was not completed, Only it was giving the
intermediate
files namely ddEyzdyf,ddKDeKnT etc, except that no ouput were produced.I
do
not understand how long it will take or whether I am encountering any
problem , in  the manual it is mentioned that the program is very slow,
But
I am not getting any idea whether the time it is taking  is normal, or I
am
facing some problem.
Try doing it on one structure in a trajectory by using trjconv
appropriately. If it's not done in ten minutes on a machine under five years old, then you have a problem.

Also try running dssp independently on a single snapshot extracted from
your trajeotry and put into pdb format (by specifying .pdb suffix on
output file for trjconv). If you can't do that, then the problem has
nothing to do with gromacs.

Mark
