Dear vmd users,
I am generating density map (for all atoms) for one structure with 0.5
A grid size, atom size radius 1x and without weights.
Then I would like to fit to this density map another structure, of
course If this is the same protein, but in different conformation I
could superimpose it, but I am searching more elegant way of doing
this :)
Also it would be good to get some numbers - as a measure of how this
other structure fits to density map.
It is possible in VMD to fit structure to this volumetric data?
I was thinking about some crystallographic software which are fitting
structure to electron density map, but I do not know if this software
could do the same with .dx files (as electron density map)...
Do you know way of fitting rigid structure to density map generated in
VMD (in dx format) or to convert dx file for this purpose?
Thanks for any advice :)
Best

Tomek
