Hi, I am new to chimera. I want to superimpose a domain for the two protein molecules and get the rmsd for the non superimposed protein parts. How should i do it. Ihave superimposed domain of interest for my protein using match, but now i am not getting how to proceed further. Thanks Vani Pande Int PhD Biological sciences IISER Pune 20162013

Hi Vani, If you already superimposed the structures the way you want, now you can use command “rmsd” to measure RMSDs between sets of atoms without moving them. See “rmsd” manual page for examples: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/rmsd.html> In case you might be interested, different ways to superimpose structures are discussed here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/superposition.html> You can also search for help topics using menu: Help… Search Documentation, for example for “rmsd" I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
