Dear Justin

Thank you. I am considering  Rmsd rmsf rg as just supplementary analysis
for my study.  My aim to analyse  conformational change in protein. I would
like to bring a note on protein stability after ligand binding. I don't
know to which part of monomer I can compare the rmsd of complex with.
First 50ns or last .. can you please help me with this?
