Structural alignment software

Structural comparison and alignment

Key map:

• Class:

• Cα -- Backbone Atom (Cα) Alignment;
• AllA -- All Atoms Alignment;
• SSE -- Secondary Structure Elements Alignment;
• Seq -- Sequence-based alignment
• Pair -- Pairwise Alignment (2 structures *only*);
• Multi -- Multiple Structure Alignment (MStA);
• C-Map -- Contact Map
• Surf -- Connolly Molecular Surface Alignment
• SASA -- Solvent Accessible Surface Area
• Dihed -- Dihedral Backbone Angles
• PB -- Protein Blocks

• Flexible:

• No -- Only rigid-body transformations are considered between the structures being compared.
• Yes -- The method allows for some flexibility within the structures being compared, such as movements around hinge regions.
