This page is a tutorial on how to superimpose two structures in jmol and show them in proteopedia. 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 lysosomal enzyme specificities]] and [[Schubert lab: bacterial InIC disrupts human Tuba complexes]]. | This page is a tutorial on how to superimpose two structures in jmol and show them in proteopedia.
