Hi Lei, Matchmaker itself does not change the structure. However, if you save a PDB file after moving any atomic structure (by any method), because of rounding you may get tiny differences comparing the structures before and after. PDB file format only has 3 digits after the decimal in X,Y,Z coordinates. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear users, After aligning protein A to protein B using matchmaker, I found the protein A structure slightly changed compared with its original structure (RMSD: 0.001). Could I ask how I can keep protein A structure unchanged after matchmaker (position-change) operation? Thanks! Lei
