[gmx-users] RMSD, two simulations

[Marcus Kubitzki]

Hi Michael,

g_rms should do the trick. First create an index file having
an atom group identical in both systems. Then,
g_rms -s ref.pdb -f1 trj1.xtc -f2 trj2.xtc -m rmsd.xpm gives
you an rmsd matrix with entry ij given by
RMSD[(frame i of trj1),(frame j oftrj2)]. The diagonal of that
matrix should be what you want.
