30 \&g_rmsf computes the root mean square fluctuation (RMSF, i.e. standard
31 \&deviation) of atomic positions
32 \&after (optionally) fitting to a reference frame.
35 \&With option \fB \-oq\fR the RMSF values are converted to B\-factor
36 \&values, which are written to a pdb file with the coordinates, of the
37 \&structure file, or of a pdb file when \fB \-q\fR is specified.
38 \&Option \fB \-ox\fR writes the B\-factors to a file with the average
42 \&With the option \fB \-od\fR the root mean square deviation with
43 \&respect to the reference structure is calculated.
46 \&With the option \fB aniso\fR g_rmsf will compute anisotropic
47 \&temperature factors and then it will also output average coordinates
48 \&and a pdb file with ANISOU records (corresonding to the \fB \-oq\fR
49 \&or \fB \-ox\fR option). Please note that the U values
50 \&are orientation dependent, so before comparison with experimental data
51 \&you should verify that you fit to the experimental coordinates.
54 \&When a pdb input file is passed to the program and the \fB \-aniso\fR
56 \&a correlation plot of the Uij will be created, if any anisotropic
57 \&temperature factors are present in the pdb file.
60 \&With option \fB \-dir\fR the average MSF (3x3) matrix is diagonalized.
61 \&This shows the directions in which the atoms fluctuate the most and

136 Do a least squares superposition before computing RMSF. Without this you must make sure that the reference structure and the trajectory match.
