16 g_confrms computes the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of two struc‐
17 tures after LSQ fitting the second structure on the first one. The two
18 structures do NOT need to have the same number of atoms, only the two
19 index groups used for the fit need to be identical. With -name only
20 matching atom names from the selected groups will be used for the fit
21 and RMSD calculation. This can be useful when comparing mutants of a
22 protein.

25 The superimposed structures are written to file. In a .pdb file the
26 two structures will be written as separate models (use rasmol -nmr‐
27 pdb). Also in a .pdb file, B-factors calculated from the atomic MSD
28 values can be written with -bfac.
