Dear Jan,
I think GROMACS can do that (www.gromacs.org):
____________________________________________________________________
g_confrms computes the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of two
structures after LSQ fitting the second structure on the first one.
The two structures do NOT need to have the same number of atoms, only
the two index groups used for the fit need to be identical. With -name
only matching atom names from the selected groups will be used for the
fit and RMSD calculation. This can be useful when comparing mutants of
a protein.
____________________________________________________________________
It will fit only those atoms specified in the index file,
independently on the name of the atom (you should use only C-alpha or
backbone atoms for the superimposition)
I hope this helps!
Best wishes,
Ruben
