Hi Smita Yes, that’s the kind of analysis I had in mind.
I have > 700 structures to “look” at so something that would say “these residues overlay with a small RMSD so this bit is rigid, but these residues don’t, so that part is flexible” ~700 times. Using an MG program of any kind would just be a sanity check that I’d use on a very few structures (probably no more than ~20-30) to make sure I’m happy with the results before automating the whole thing.
