Subject: Re: AMBER: about RMSD per residue

Hi,

        As I understood, RMSD per residue should equal to the RMSF of each
residue. In the paper you mentioned, maybe they used different reference
structures. For RMSD per residue, maybe the starting structure, so the
values are larger; for RMSF, maybe the average strucutre.

        In ptraj, you can use the 'atomicfluct' to calculate. And set different
reference structures in 'rms' step.

Best,
Wei
