You can't align chain A and B simultaneously as they come from different
space groups. I'd recommend using 1GZM chain A for your rhodopsin inactive
starting template for any GPCR modelling. You get undistorted loops from
that crystal structure. Chain A is considered in both 1F88 and 1GZM to be
the better structure.
