Hi,

I am working on the modeling of one ligand in a native and mutant receptor. The ligand occupies different positions in the binding cavity, and I am interested in estimate this difference. However, if RMSD is calculated via MatchMaker, the ligand in mutant receptor (non-reference) is moved from its original position to try to minimize the deviation compared to ligand in native receptor (reference). How can I calculate the difference in the ligand position between the two receptors, in an appropriate manner?

Best regards,
