You can use ANY reference structure you chose. The question is what you want
to measure with respect to. If for example, you are measuring some kind of
fluctuation then it is probably reasonable to pick an equilibrated
structure. If you want to show RMSD to the crystal structure then of course
you need to pick the original inpcrd created from the pdb file as you
reference structure (and avoid including H's in the RMS fit since these are
normally placed using templates). Etc.
So please describe what you are trying to do and we can comment some more.
All the best
Ross
