NAME

   TMalign - protein structure alignment

SYNOPSIS

   TMalign structure.pdbtarget.pdb[options]

DESCRIPTION

   TMalign  performs  a structural alignment of proteins. The alignment is
   scored by the TM-score algorithm.

OPTIONS

   When started with no options, a summary of commands is given. With  two
   protein structures presented as arguments, the TM-score uses the length
   of the second protein to be normalised.  The final structural alignment
   is invariant to any of the options below.

   -L     number normalises TM-score by an assigned length (in aa)

   -a     normalises TM-score by the average length of the two structures

   -b     normalises  TM-score  by  the  length  of the shorter of the two
          structures

   -c     normalises TM-score by the length  of  the  longer  of  the  two
          structures

   -o     filename   Run   TM-align   and   output  the  superposition  to
          'filename.sup' and 'filename.sup_all'.  The output  files  serve
          as  scripts  to  the  program  rasmol.  To view the superimposed
          structures of the aligned regions call
           'rasmol -script TM.sup' To view the superimposed structures  of
          all regions
           'rasmol -script TM.sup_all'.
