Re: [AMBER] rmsd of trajectories with different no. of residues in same protein?

cpptraj was designed specifically for this task. You can load structures
with different topologies and calculate RMSDs between 'different'
structures (as long as the selection in both structures have the same # of
atoms).

Look at the manual for cpptraj to learn how to use it.

Good luck,
Jason
