PLEASE do NOT do MR - You will most likely finish up with a different origin for your SG, and it will make comparisons a pain in the neck!
Just do a rigid body refinement starting with the native structure. If you like you can change the cell to the substrate one pdbset xyzin native.pdb xyzout substrate.pdb CELL 39.6 63.9 117.8 90 90 90 end but the refinement will sort that out too.
