If you don't know which atoms to superimpose, or if you don't even know which other structure is similar to the one of interest, you can do a [[Structural alignment tools|structural alignment]] first. The output will tell you which structures show similarity to the one of interest, and it will show a list of equivalent atoms (usually it just considers C-alpha atoms for protein structures). Historically, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_S._Richardson Jane Richardson's] beautiful [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_diagram ribbon diagrams] played an important role in detecting structural similarities through human pattern recognition ("This cartoon looks similar to another structure I saw previously"). | If you don't know which atoms to superimpose, or if you don't even know which other structure is similar to the one of interest, you can do a [[Structural alignment tools|structural alignment]] first.

If you know which residues you want to target for superposition because you have a multiple sequence alignment, you can go to [https://github.com/fomightez/cl_demo-binder | If you know which residues you want to target for superposition because you have a multiple sequence alignment, you can go to [https://github.com/fomightez/cl_demo-binder here], press a `launch binder` badge to launch an active Jupyter session in your browser and then select from the index of notebooks 'Determine residues that match to a reference from multiple sequence alignment and use to construct fit commands' to work through a Jupyter notebook that steps process of using a multiple sequence alignment to determine residues that are expected to be equivalents and then at the bottom of the section generates Jmol commands. You can substitute your own alignment and structure of interest once you follow how it works. | ||
