Definition

The angle between two axes of two reference frames superimposed to the atom groups A and B.

 

The superimposition is made by finding lowest root mean square deviation between the reference structure and structure of a given atom group. The fit is not mass weighted.

Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("cli") reported: "[INVALID]"): {\displaystyle RMSD = \sqrt{ {\sum_{i=1}^{N}{ | \bold R_i^' - \bold R_{ref,i}|^2 }} } \rightarrow min!}

where R' are atoms from given atom group and Rref are atoms from given reference structure.

PBC note: The minimum-image convention is not used.
