Hi,

In order to help you out some more information is needed about exactly
what you have done. What procedure did you use to generate the PDB
file? What does "very messy" mean (i.e. do bonds appear stretched, in
the wrong places, etc?).

This will certainly cause problems for both Amber and VMD RMSD
functions; the number of atoms in your reference has to be the same as
in your target structure (atom ordering must be the same as well).
It's not unusual for PDB files to be missing some parts of a structure
(like terminals residues in a protein for example), in which case you
can just calculate the RMSD of the parts of the structure that
overlap. However, without knowing anything more about your system it's
difficult to make specific recommendations.
