DESCRIPTION
g_rms compares two structures by computing the root mean square deviation (RMSD), the size-independent 'rho' similarity parameter (rho) or the scaled rho (rhosc), see Maiorov & Crippen, PROTEINS 22 , 273 (1995). This is selected by -what
Each structure from a trajectory ( -f ) is compared to a reference structure. The reference structure is taken from the structure file ( -s ).
With option -mir also a comparison with the mirror image of the reference structure is calculated. This is useful as a reference for 'significant' values, see Maiorov & Crippen, PROTEINS 22 , 273 (1995).
Option -prev produces the comparison with a previous frame the specified number of frames ago.
Option -m produces a matrix in .xpm format of comparison values of each structure in the trajectory with respect to each other structure. This file can be visualized with for instance
xv and can be converted to postscript with xpm2ps
Option -fit controls the least-squares fitting of the structures on top of each other: complete fit (rotation and translation), translation only, or no fitting at all.
With -f2 , the 'other structures' are taken from a second trajectory, this generates a comparison matrix of one trajectory versus the other.
Option -bin does a binary dump of the comparison matrix.
Option -bm produces a matrix of average bond angle deviations analogously to the -m option. Only bonds between atoms in the comparison group are considered.
