Doug, As far as I know there isn't any resource online, so I'll try to answer your questions here:
PyMOL does not automatically align structures. intra_fit is presumably the command you're looking for to do this, since you're placing models are in one object. intra_fit name ca, 1 would for example align all of the models to the first model using alpha-carbon coordinates. intra_fit resi 10-15, 1 would align all models to the coordinates of atoms in residues 10-15. As far as RMS statistics go, PyMOL may be the best tool for this yet, since it doesn't current have the ability to generate statistics for the ensemble. What statistics in particular would you like it to provide? Also note that if you have you ensemble in a multiple-model pdb file (with MODEL and ENDMDL records), you can just load it in one command load ens.pdb Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.
