Dear Richard,
you can align multiple frames of a trajectory using the attached tcl
script. To use it, do the following:
source align_frames.tcl
align_frames molid seltext
This will go through the entire trajectory in molecule molid, align each
frame of it to the first (it only aligns the selection of seltext,
usually "all") and outputs the rmsds of each step to the file rmsd.dat.
The script is fairly short so you should be able to modify it to suit
your needs.
Best,
Peter
