Coot: How to Superimpose two Structures
29 January 2010
1) Open the desired coordinate files in Coot (click here if you need some help)
(You know you have been looking at structures too long when they start to look like faces.)
2) Under Calculate you have two methods of superimposing:
SSM Superpose (we will go with this option in this example: Calculate -> SSM Superpose…) or LSQ Superpose
Note: SSM Superpose stands for secondary-structure matching and if you need to do it outside of Coot there is a server.
3) Select which PDB you would like to move and apply:
The structures should now be superimposed:
