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

       TMalign - protein structure alignment

       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.

       -Lnumber 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

       -ofilename  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'.
