I've tried to develop a method that collects dyndom analysis of several
simulations and/or essential dynamics eigenvectors. It was published as
a book chapter:
 	K. Anton Feenstra and Herman J. C. Berendsen. "The domain
decomposition of a single-domain protein." in: Monte Carlo approach to
biopolymers and protein folding. pp. 255-267. Eds. P. Grassberger, G.T.
Barkema and W. Nadler, Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Jülich, Germany;
World Scientific, London, 1998.

I may add that DynDom was developed by Steve Hayward, here are some
references (taken from www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/html/REFERENCES.html):
