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 [[Superposition_with_jmol#Equivalent_atoms|"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.
