Dear Amber community:
Now let me explain my understanding for this definition. When we
consider calculating RMSD of a structure, the numerator term in the
square root is a sum whose inner loop is a sum over time and outer loop
is a sum over space. Then this sum divide the number of atoms include by
this structure.
Now going back to my simple test data:
For t=2 case, RMSD for only residue 1, residue2 and residue 1 to 2 are
0.22, 0.05 and 0.60 respectively. To simplify the model, we treat every
residue as an atom. According the formula, the RMSD for residue 1 to 2
should be less than 0.22. But it is 0.60. Where is my fault?
By the way, I found the definitions of RMSD are different in the
following resource:

Could you tell me where I can find a normal one?
Thanks a lot.
