The RMSD between two independently-determined [[X-ray crystallography]] structures of the same protein is typically about 1.0 Å. Larger values of the RMSD indicate less similarity between the two structures. | The RMSD between two independently-determined [[X-ray crystallography]] structures of the same protein is typically about 1.0 Å.
