Jmol/Superposition

From Proteopedia

Introduction

Superpositions (or overlays) are a way to compare two structures by moving them on top of one another so the "equivalent atoms" are close to one another. Because the two structures are different, not all equivalent atoms can match at the same time. Instead, you minimize the root-mean-square of the distances to achieve a compromise. If you want to see superpositions in the context of a proteopedia page (and look at the underlying jmol scripts), take a look at [Garman lab: Interconversion of specificities of lysosomal enzymes] and [Schubert lab: Binding partners of the human tuba protein].
