rmsd_analysis

In usual, we analyze RMSD of the protein Calpha atoms with respect to the initial structure as in Ex1. reffile in [INPUT] is the reference coordinates. We can also specify fitting atoms and analysis atoms separately. For example, RMSD of the ligand with respect to the protein can be analyzed (see Ex2).
