You need to take care of two more things as I can think of;
1. if the two proteins have long helix, the algorithm will focus on
the helices and get low RMSD (Residue mean score distance). But other
parts are aligned urgly, the alignment will not be good in a biologist's
view.
2. there are some residues that are not alignable(they are two far apart).
These residues should not be taken into account when calculating the
final RMSD.
