Dear Justin and Peter, Thank you so much! I did not realise the meaning of two prompts until now. I was always using the same number for the two prompts. Thank you for the MDAnalysis! https://www.mdanalysis.org/pages/learning_MDAnalysis/ Yours sincerely Cheng --

Dear Justin, Thank you for confirming this. May I ask, 1) How to "fit to the whole protein (or backbone, CA, etc) and subsequently calculate the RMSD of given residue(s)"? My current command is (by selecting the residue in the "index.ndx" file): gmx rms -s md_0_1.tpr -f md_0_1_noPBC.xtc -n
