This will calculate the RMSF for CA atoms, after fitting to the first
frame. Note that the 'center' command is unnecessary since the
subsequent 'rms' command will move the system anyway. You may want to
autoimage prior to the 'rms' command if your system is not a monomer.
If you wanted to calculate to the average structure instead you would
first have to calculate the average structure (with the 'average'
command) and perform the 'rms' fit to that reference (via 'reference'
or 'ref <name>' keyword after loading the reference, see the manual
for full syntax).

This is probably not what you want. You dont do any fitting prior to
the atomicfluct command, so your rmsf will contain contributions from
global rotation/translation.

Hope this helps,
