Dear users,

I want to investigate *Ligand effect *on the protein .
To investigation the interaction of protein-ligand:
*RMSD calculations:*
1.
a) RMSD of Backbone
b) RMSD of Backbone+ligand
2.
a) RMSD of Protein
b) RMSD of Protein+ligand
3.
a) RMSD of Protein-H
b) RMSD of Protein-H+ligand
Which one would you recommend ( 1., 2., and 2.choice)?


Unless the effect of your ligand is very large (i.e., the whole protein is significantly more or less stable in the presence of the ligand), then likely none of these analyses will be particularly illustrative as they are not very sensitive to small changes. You can get a per-residue RMSD by using g_rmsf -od to see the effect of the ligand on each residue. Otherwise, the most common quantity measured is backbone RMSD.
