Hi Phenix users,<div><br></div><div>I am not a crystallographer but I though you guys might be a good place to ask this question.</div><div><br></div><div>I have 2 super secondary structures, A and B and they consist of Helix-turn-Strand</div><div><br></div><div>Due to the turn the two structures have a poor RMSD because the two flanking fragments of Helix and Strand are far from each other but when I superimpose the two fragments individually(helixA with helix B and standA with strandB in Pymol they align very well).</div><div><br></div><div>Now, is there a way to express this instead of using the RMSD?</div><div>When the two structures align well the RMSD is very good but a slight movement and the RMSD is awful.</div><div>But looking at the two structures I can see they follow the same path through space.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Patrick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><hr size="1px" noshade style="clear:both;margin-top:10px;height:1px;">
