Both commands are syntactically correct, they just measure RMSD based on different starting structures - the un-minimized structure held in em.tpr (usually a crystal structure or something) and the structure that has been (presumably) minimized and equilibrated in some way. The difference between the two is likely small, but that will depend on how you've treated the system prior to running MD. The proper use of the command depends on what you want to do. If you want RMSD relative to the crystal structure, use the first invocation of g_rms. If you want RMSD relative to the minimized, equilibrated structure, use the second.

Dear sir,

When i wish to calculate RMSD of protein using *g_rms* command which file i should use to calculate it to get proper evaluation
two command is in tutorial are as follows.

*g_rms  -s em.tpr  -f  md.trr -o rmsd.xvg*

*g_rms  -f md.tpr  -s md.trr -o rmsd.xvg

*which is correct both command shows different RMSD.

please help me or clarify its use.

waiting for your reply
