Raj, There are many programs that will give you an RMSD per residue difference between your bound and un-bound protein. Some will even write the RMSDs to the B-factor column of your PDB. You can then visualize regions in your protein that have structural changes/movement in the bound vs. unbound by using B-factor putty in Pymol or coloring by B-factor.
I refer you to a previous post on the subject in the CCP4BB archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@jiscmail.ac.uk/msg14496.html On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 1:07 PM, Goragot Wisedchaisri < gora...@u.washington.edu> wrote: > I would first calculate least square superposition of the first monomer > between 2 structures (one to be fixed and one to be moved) using a program > such as lsqkap or any other programs suggested by others.
