It is probably Gesamt/SSM (Superpose in CCP4), or PDBeFold at EBI rather than

I think PISA does this for you - it overlaps structural features and gives an 
RMSD on those parts that fit and a useful list of matching residues.
You can run it from CCP4I or at PDBe.

If you ant more than CA RMSD then you will need to select out the spans to fit 
and use the LSQKAB overlap procedure
FIT MAIN RESi n n+m CHAIN A
MATCH RESI b b+m CHAIN C

FIT ….

etc

for example - you can do that in the GUI

Dear Sreetama,

I use an ancient superposition program which rejects all atom pairs deviating 
more than 3 sigma and repeats this procedure until convergence. It then reports 
the RMSD for all atoms and for the atoms deviating less than 3 sigma. I find 
this an excellent method to separate the core from variable loop regions. It 
also ensures a robust superposition of the cores, ignoring variable loops.

Best,
Herman

Betreff: [ccp4bb] RMSD between structures of homologous proteins

Dear all,
           When calculating the RMSD between structures of homologous proteins, 
where there are large changes in the loop region(s), which RMSD should be 
reported - an overall value which may be inflated due to the deviations in the 
loops, or separate values for the core and loop regions?
What is the best way to calculate the RMSD for superposition of the cores - 
should I prepare a separate PDB file by removing the coordinates of the loop 
residues and then superpose?

Thanks in advance,
Sreetama das,
