6 gmx-confrms - Fit two structures and calculates the RMSD

9 gmx confrms [-f1 [<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-f2 [<.gro/.g96/...>]]
10 [-n1 [<.ndx>]] [-n2 [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.gro/.g96/...>]]
11 [-no [<.ndx>]] [-[no]w] [-[no]one] [-[no]mw] [-[no]pbc]
12 [-[no]fit] [-[no]name] [-[no]label] [-[no]bfac]
13
15 gmx confrms computes the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of two
16 structures after least-squares fitting the second structure on the
17 first one. The two structures do NOT need to have the same number of
18 atoms, only the two index groups used for the fit need to be identical.
19 With -name only matching atom names from the selected groups will be
20 used for the fit and RMSD calculation. This can be useful when compar‐
21 ing mutants of a protein.
22
23 The superimposed structures are written to file. In a .pdb file the two
24 structures will be written as separate models (use rasmol -nmrpdb).
25 Also in a .pdb file, B-factors calculated from the atomic MSD values
26 can be written with -bfac.
