you can make a simple script which calculates all the pairwise RMSD values with g_rms. By doing this you can make a "RMSD matrix".
The usefulness of this depends on what you are trying to see, which wasn't clearly stated to us. I did it once because I wanted to know how similar the 20 conformers from a NMR PDB actually were. 2013/1/24 FLOR MARTINI <flormart...@yahoo.com.ar> > The values are OK, you obtain a value of RMSD of 0.2510229 .
