When you load "fileXYZ.pdb" into PyMOL, the PyMOL object will be called "fileXYZ"--we just cut off the ".pdb" when making the object name. So, in your example above > cmd.load("pdb%04d.pdb"%ener1) > cmd.load("pdb%04d.pdb"%ener2) will create two new objects, one called "pdb0001" and "pdb0002" and the rms command would be: cmd.rms("pdb0001 and name CA", "pdb0002 and name CA"); If you're scripting this, then you can write the RMS command like this: cmd.rms( "pdb%04d and name CA" % ener1, "pdb%04d and name CA" % ener2 ) > When and How do I do the import like from pymol import cmd,stored ? > Where do I place them in my Python script ? Create a script called "myRMSScript.py" with all the Python/PyMOL commands in it. At the top of that file put: import pymol from pymol import cmd To run the script just type "run ./path/to/myRMSScript.py" and PyMOL will run the script. > Any other function other than FIT like rms_cur,rms, allign that I could use > to get rmsd between these PDBS > both my pdbs are of the same protein Please read the help I suggested earlier. If you type "help fit" you will see that there are lots of alignment and fitting commands in PyMOL, including: align, super, pair_fit, rms, rms_cur, intra_fit, intra_rms, and intra_rms_cur--and each of those commands has corresponding help documentation and PyMOLWiki page.
