Hi Thomas, thank you very much for the answer, I'm beginning to understand the actual problem now.
dss state=1 helps, but it changes the problem: I would like to see the secondary structure that corresponds to the single snapshot. When I use dss state=1, I just see the secondary structure of the first snapshot in all snapshots. Is there a way to calculate the secondary structure for each individual snapshot stored in this single .pdb file?
