Notes from the publication: With 10 "difficult examples"<ref>Fischer,D., Elofsson,A., Rice,D. and Eisenberg,D. (1996) Assessing the performance of fold recognition methods by means of a comprehensive benchmark. In Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. pp. 300–318.</ref> FATCAT produced results comparable (length, RMSD) to the rigid alignment servers DALI, VAST, CE with no twists in 8 cases. This shows that FATCAT is not biased to introduce twists (hinges). Hinges were introduced in two of the difficult cases, producing arguably better alignments. In a comparison with ''FlexProt''<ref>PMID: 12112693</ref>, FATCAT obtained similar RMSD's and aligned lengths with fewer twists (hinges).

This section is for stand-alone software packages that do not require a web browser.
===Calculate Structure Alignment===
This is a java program (java web start) offered by the U.S. [[PDB]]. At [https://www.rcsb.org/pages/analyze_features#Sequence PDB Sequence & Structure Alignment]. You will then get a form where you can enter two [[PDB codes]] (or upload two PDB files), optionally with a sequence range for each. Alternatively, with the ''Database Search'' option, you can enter a single PDB code (or upload a PDB file), and find structure neighbors. On the right is a link "Align custom files (Launches a Java Web Start application)", which starts the ''Calculate Structure Alignment'' java software. This package offers java implementations of the CE and FATCAT (you can choose '''rigid''' or '''flexible''') algorithms (see above).
* Pairwise Comparison: displays the alignment in Jmol, and a sequence alignment (presumably structure-based).
* Database Search: I got no results after clicking "Align" for either jCE or jFATCAT - rigid. These options did not appear to be working. [[User:Eric Martz|Eric Martz]] 16:28, 4 October 2010 (IST)
* Help is minimal and results are not clearly labeled.

*2.9 &Aring; RMSD. Alignment includes 275 residues.
*2.9 &Aring; RMSD. Superposition includes 275 residues.
*13% sequence identity in the aligned regions.
*13% sequence identity in the superposed regions.
*Tried the example requiring flexibility (above) as a second case. A 52 residue subdomain was aligned with RMSD 2.69 &Aring;, an alternative alignment matching the second domain shows up with 47 residues/RMSD 2.69 &Aring;.
