Re: [AMBER] rmsd with fit

Dear Daniel and Wei

Thanks, but I am lost somewhat I think...

1) rms using nofit means it will NOT transform/translate and use simply formula as in wiki RMSD (v,w): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation_of_atomic_positions

2) rms without nofit will perform transform/translate to get best fit (which is best minimum rmsd out of all transformations)

am I right?


Then in that case I would like to check if internal geometry was fixed (for 1-10) using EMAPs then I should get flat rmsd for 1-10 residue for whole simulation just by using:

rms reference mass :1-10 out test.rms (as this should transformation to provide best fit)

thanks

FYI 'fit' is not a valid keyword for the 'rms' command in either ptraj or
cpptraj. As Wei mentioned the default behavior of 'rms' in both programs is
to calculate the best-fit RMSD. The 'nofit' keyword means do not perform
any fitting; the RMSD is calculated between the target and reference
structures as they are.
