Re: [AMBER] strip some atoms to compute RMSD

Dear AMBER users,

Seems that the "strip" command was useful for the analysis of each of my
protein chains since I could mask the atoms I was not focused for my
analysis.

The thing is when I am trying to analyze RMSD for the two chains (general
RMSD) my out put is always for one the chains. My protein has two chains
both named as "C" and numbered equally 20-450,

What I have done is for example:

rms 20-450.CA reference out allprot.dat : but with this I
always obtain analysis for just one chain

So my question is how could I indicate in this script that I need the RMSD
analysis for both chains (all the protein) at the same time?

Thanks in advance
