Coot And I would use LSQKAB instead of the SSM method. First look at what stays rigid in one subunit and define those residues for the superposition, then look at the text window where it will report you the rmsd for each position and chain.

I want to calculate RMS deviation between second monomer from these two complexes by fixing superposed first monomer. This I require to know what is the effect of DNA on relative orientation of two monomers in the dimer. Previously I was using MOLEMAN2 to do this calculation. Please can you suggest me any other program to do this calculation. Thanking you Raj E.
