Key map:

  • Class:
  • -- 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.
