Hi Harry, The superpose/overlay of all the structures in PyMol should inform you the rigid part of the protein as well as the flexible part. The rigid part would have very low backbone RMSD or overlay tightly and the flexible part (loops, N-term and C-term etc.) would not superpose tightly. If you check literature, the dynamics of the protein may have been studied through NMR relaxation. Smita

If I have a structure in the PDB (e.g. 2kv5) that is an ensemble of structures that fit the NOEs, is there a tool available that will give me some idea about the bits of the structure that do not vary much (“rigid”) and the bits that are all over the place (“flexible”)? Would superpose or gesamt be a good tool for this? Ideally I’d like something that could add a figure to the B columns in a PDB file so I could see something in QTMG (or PyMol if forced…) or do other useful things with the information.
