25.1.8.9. ProFit

| top | pdf |

ProFit is designed to be the ultimate least-squares fitting program and is written to be as easily portable between systems as possible. It performs the basic function of fitting one protein structure to another, but allows as much flexibility as possible in this procedure. Thus one can specify subsets of atoms to be considered or specify zones to be fitted by number, sequence, or by sequence alignment. The program will output an r.m.s. deviation and, optionally, the fitted coordinates. R.m.s. deviations may also be calculated without actually performing a fit. Zones for calculating the r.m.s. deviation can be different from those used for fitting.
