strip
Remove specified atoms from the system.
strip <mask> [outprefix <name>] [nobox]
<mask>
Remove atoms specified by mask from the system.
[outprefix <prefix>]
Write out stripped topology file with name ’<prefix>.<Original Topology Name>’.
[nobox]
Remove any box information from the stripped topology.\
Strip all atoms specified by <mask> from the frame and modify the topology to match for any subsequent Actions. The outprefix keyword can be used to write stripped topologies; stripped Amber topologies are fully-functional. Note that stripping a system renumbers all atoms and residues, so for example after this command:
strip :1
residue 1 will be gone, and the former second residue will now be the first, and so on.
For example, to strip all residues named WAT from each topology/coordinate frame:
strip :WAT
The next example uses a distance-based mask to strip atoms in a single frame. Note that with the exception of the mask command, distance-based masks do not update on a per-frame basis. To strip all residues outside of 6.0 from any atom in residues 1 to 14 and write out the stripped topology and coordinates, both with no box information:
parm parm7 trajin frame_1000.rst.1 reference frame_1000.rst.1 strip !(:1-14<:6.0) outprefix f1.1 nobox trajout f1.1.x restart nobox
