[gmx-users] what difference between RMSF and RMDEV

[ahmet yıldırım]

Dear users,

g_rmsf -s run.tpr -f run.xtc -od rmsdev.xvg -o rmsf.xvg -res

With the option -od the root mean square deviation with respect to the
reference structure is calculated.
Then,
RMSDEV is the RMSD per residue (the root mean square deviation with respect
to the reference structure is calculated).

and
RMSF is the RMSD per residue (the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF, i.e.
standard deviation) of atomic positions after (optionally) fitting to a
reference frame). That is, it is the measurement averaged over all atoms in
each residue.

Now what difference?

I am confused.
