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'.
