The purpose of this article is to help in choosing a server or software package for performing structural alignment. Characteristics of structural alignment servers and software packages are listed, along with results of testing with a few examples. | The purpose of this article is to help in choosing a server or software package for performing structural alignment.

There are two common applications of structural alignment servers: | |||
# '''Pairwise alignment'''. All servers listed below enable you to upload two 3D models (or specify them from the [[PDB]]) and generate a structural alignment. | |||
# '''Structure neighbors'''. Some servers (notably ) enable you to upload one 3D model (or specify one in the [[PDB]]) and generate a list of the closest structures in the [[PDB]], based on pairwise structural alignments between your query structure versus all structures in the [[PDB]]. | |||
