DALI server (http://ekhidna.biocenter.helsinki.fi/dali_server/). Choose the pairwise alignment function. It is all automatic and will give you the lowest rmsd. Note, however, that it will omit parts that are very different for calculation.

Within CCP4, SUPERPOSE or COOT can also do that. You need to specify the residues you want to use for calculation for the lsq fit function.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Question on calculation of RMSD

Dear All
I have two structures of homo-dimeric protein complex with different DNA.
I want to calculate RMS deviation between second monomer from these two complexes by fixing superposed first monomer.

This I require to know what is the effect of DNA on relative orientation of two monomers in the dimer.

Previously I was using MOLEMAN2 to do this calculation.

Please can you suggest me any other program to do this calculation.

Thanking you
Raj
