-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jenny and Iain,
But my understanding is that Iain's procedure gives the rmsds of the _aligned_ C-alphas, whereas Jenny actually seems to be more interested in those that she excludes from the alignment. I may be wrong, but in these cases, I use lsqman (from DVD) or lsqkab (from ccp4) to superpose the proteins (using one as reference) according to a particular scheme (Jenny's 1-40,60-100) and then write a script to calculate the rmsds for the "interesting" 41-59 residues. There may be an easier way, which I'll be interested to learn about. Cheers, M.
