An unusually fast method of superposing two sets of atomic coordinates for related molecular structures by least squares is described. It exploits the special nature of the problem and uses the method of conjugate gradients. The calculation takes about 0.003 s and is fast enough to be used in on-line graphics systems.

... The sequences were carefully aligned with Clustal Omega (Sievers et al., 2011). Protein structures and/or structural models were superimposed using the McLachlan algorithm (McLachlan, 1982) as implemented in the program ProFit 3.1, and using iPBA (Gelly et al., 2011), and TM-Align (Zhang and Skolnick, 2005). Secondary structure was predicted by several specific methods, such as HMMTOP (Tusnády and Simon, 2001) and MEMSAT (Jones, 2007). ...
