[Chimera-users] rmsd cluster analysis

[Francesco Pietra]

Elaine:
I had carried out successfully all-by-all pairwise RMSD. Though, it does not
help much comparing different ligands for the same protein. As to MMTSB, there
are indications about the compilation that I do not understand yet. All in all,
it seems to me that a tool for performing affinity analysis for ligands in
explicit medium (ideally free energies) is not easily at hand.

Hope I am wrong and someone comes with suggestions (I posted the problem of
affinities in explicit medium yesterday to DOCK, so a suggestion might come
from there too).

Thanks
francesco
