A method for multiple superposition of structures.
The study of families of protein structures is important in analysing the results of NMR structure determinations and in investigating mechanisms of molecular evolution at the level of conformation. A method is discussed for finding the transformations that mutually superpose an arbitrary number of structures in the least-squares sense given specified atom-to-atom correspondence.
