This list of structural comparison and alignment software is a compilation of software tools and web portals used in pairwise or multiple structural comparison and structural alignment.

Structural comparison and alignment

Key map:

• Class:

  Cα -- Backbone Atom (Cα) Alignment;

• AllA -- All Atoms Alignment;

• SSE -- Secondary Structure Elements Alignment;

• Seq -- Sequence-based alignment

• Pair -- Pairwise Alignment (2 structures *only*);

• Multi -- Multiple Structure Alignment (MStA);

• C-Map -- Contact Map

• Surf -- Connolly Molecular Surface Alignment

• SASA -- Solvent Accessible Surface Area

• Dihed -- Dihedral Backbone Angles

• PB -- Protein Blocks

• Flexible:

  No -- Only rigid-body transformations are considered between the structures being compared.

• Yes -- The method allows for some flexibility within the structures being compared, such as movements around hinge regions.
