structural comparison
A structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. Material structures include man-made objects such as buildings and machines and natural objects such as ...

structural alignment
Structural alignment attempts to establish homology between two or more polymer structures based on their shape and three-dimensional conformation. This process is usually applied to protein tertiary structures but can also be used for large RN ...

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.
