Risking a potentially trivial question:
Is there a program that will calculate the RMS of distances
between specified (listed) atoms in two different structures?
As far as I could see, LSQMAN will only compute same with same?
lsqman does in fact calculate rmsd valus between arbitrary sets of atoms.
however, it turns out that there was a buglet that caused the alpha version of
lsqman to crash rather unelegantly (but not the sgi, osx or linux versions).
it did not affect the rmsd calculation (only more exotic statistics such as
the TM-score and the Crippen rho) so should have been quite harmless
fixed versions of lsqman are available from the ftp server
