Motivation:
Root mean square deviation (RMSD) is one of the most useful and straightforward features for structural comparison between different conformations of the same molecule. Commonly, protein-ligand docking programs have included some utilities that allow the calculation of this value; however, they only work efficiently when exists a complete atom label equivalence between the evaluated conformations.
Results:
We present LigRMSD, a free web-server for the automatic matching and RMSD calculations among identical or similar chemical compounds. This server allows the user to submit only a pair of identical or similar molecules or dataset of similar compounds to compare their three-dimensional conformations.
Availability And Implementation:
LigRMSD can be freely accessed at https://ligrmsd.appsbio.utalca.cl.
Supplementary Information:
Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
