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.
