NAME

       g_confrms - fits two structures and calculates the rmsd

       VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

       g_confrms  -f1  conf1.gro  -f2  conf2.gro  -o  fit.pdb -n1 fit1.ndx -n2
       fit2.ndx  -no  match.ndx  -[no]h  -nice  int  -[no]w  -[no]one  -[no]mw
       -[no]pbc -[no]fit -[no]name -[no]label -[no]bfac

DESCRIPTION

       g_confrms  computes  the  root  mean  square  deviation  (RMSD)  of two
       structures after LSQ fitting the second structure  on  the  first  one.
       The  two  structures do NOT need to have the same number of atoms, only
       the two index groups used for the  fit  need  to  be  identical.   With
       -name  only  matching  atom names from the selected groups will be used
       for the fit and RMSD calculation. This can  be  useful  when  comparing
       mutants of a protein.

       The  superimposed  structures  are written to file. In a  .pdb file the
       two  structures  will  be  written  as  separate  models  (use   rasmol
       -nmrpdb).  Also  in  a  .pdb file, B-factors calculated from the atomic
       MSD values can be written with  -bfac.
