In order to calculate the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between two structures it is necesary to superimpose them. By using the superimpose button in the display tab, ICM will calculate the Ca-atom, backbone atom and heavy atom differences between the two structures. More advanced superimpose options can be found in the Tools/Superimpose menu.

To superimpose two structures which have the same number of residues and atoms:

The rmsd will be displayed in the terminal window as shown below:
