Hi, I have about 150 peptide structures in PDB format. I would like to compare each of them with a Template Structure (also in PDB format) and obtain an RMSD measurement for each comparison. These peptides are similar in structures to the template but may have very low sequence similarity/conservation. So my question is: 1. what is the command I should use given this scenario..? I was quite confused with the many different commands such as: rmsd, match, ensemblematch, matchmaker,... can anyone enlighten me on the differences among them. I would like to find one which can align/superimpose 2 peptides and calculate RMSD (Ca or backbone) 2. Is there a way to automate the process through scripting..? I'm still young with CHIMERA so please pardon my ignorance. =] Cheers, Sum
