Hi Gurunath,
Each structure in the NMR ensemble is a fit to the experimental data.
Unlike an MD trajectory, you can not assume that the set of structures
is a proper sample from the Boltzmann distribution, and therefore, the
RMSF can not be expected to correspond to the RMSF of the system. Now,
on a more qualitative level, it is likely that the parts that are less
defined in the NMR ensemble will also have larger RMSFs than the rest,
and could do for a rough comparison.
Hope it helps,
Tsjerk

Dear all,
I have a set of proteins(in pdb format) in which some are solved by X-ray
diffraction and some by NMR.
I have done the md simulation of these proteins using gromacs for 30ns [For
NMR structures, i have taken the first model as the starting structure]
Now, that i want to calculate the RMSF value from the simulations and
compare with the RMSF values from experimental structures [X-ray/NMR]
For the proteins with crystal structures , calculation is done using using
g_rmsf function and the comparison is done.
and for protein from NMR structure , the RMSF values are calculated from
the simulation trajectory. But in order to compare these, how does one get
the RMSF values ? ,since
the pdb file doesn't have the b-factors ..
Is it a good idea to use the NMR ensembles ( usually 20 models from NMR) to
derive the RMSF and compare these with simulation results ..?
or is there any other parameter that i can calculate from NMR models, which
is similar to RMSF ..?
Thanksin advance ..
Thanking You
Gurunath
