Dear Haixiao,

      Here's what I used, which might serve as a reference for your
own script:
----------- B-factors.ptraj -------------
trajin traj.mdcrd
center origin
atomicfluct out bfac_all-atom.dat :Res1-ResN byatom bfactor
----------------------------
Replace Res1-ResN" with the residue range for the loop.
The keyword here is "byatom".

-------------- RMSD.ptraj --------------
reference Ref..rst
trajin traj.mdcrd
center :Res1-ResN
image
rms reference out rms.dat :Res1-ResN
-----------------------------
I usually have '.CA' behind "Res1-ResN" above, but w/o which should
do for all atoms in the selected residues.
You might wish to center on all residues but only calculate RMSD for
the loop.
All frames in traj.mdcrd will be fitted to that in Ref.rst, to remove
whole molecule
rotations and translations.
Add as many rows of 'trajin' as necessary.

See the PTRAJ webpage for more information:

Hope the above helps.

regards,
Choon-Peng Chng
