I second the use of LSQMAN. The command for calculating wo aligning appears to be: rmsd_calc (abbreviated rm). http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/lsqman_man.html#S59
If you have multiple chains, use the option "chain_mode original" before loading the pdb's to avoid renaming chains: http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/lsqman_man.html#S25 On 07/03/2017 06:32 AM, Stéphane Duquerroy wrote:

I'd like to measure the RMSD between two models after molecular replacement. I can force the two models to overlap as much as possible within the symmetry and origin-shift constraints (using CSYMMATCH). But I don't want the program that compute RMSD to align the two structures. Can you suggest what I should use? And, perhaps, what keywords I should adopt? Many thanks, in advance.
