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.

Famous quotes containing the words structural and/or comparison:

    “The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
    —J. David Bolter (b. 1951)

    “In comparison to the French Revolution, the American Revolution has come to seem a parochial and rather dull event. This, despite the fact that the American Revolution was successful—realizing the purposes of the revolutionaries and establishing a durable political regime—while the French Revolution was a resounding failure, devouring its own children and leading to an imperial despotism, followed by an eventual restoration of the monarchy.”
    —Irving Kristol (b. 1920)
