Hi Pinke,

I work only in Linux OS, and the command for  this sort of conversion look like this:

$SCHRODINGER/utilities/structconvert -ipdb 1atp.pdb -omae merged.mae -a

The above mention commad have the -a option which is not supported when using the multiple PDB format. It is recommended and advice to use -a flag only with single pdb file. For this you need to convert all your PDB files separately and then combine them into one .mae file. 

Thanks

Hi Pinke,

I will suggest you to please install Cygwin https://www.cygwin.com/ and run the command line. You can find several schrodinger FAQ at http://www.schrodinger.com/kb/all/

Thanks
