TMalign

Structural alignment with TM-score

TMalign aligns two protein structures and reports TM-scores, RMSD and the optimal residue alignment independent of sequence similarity. TM-scores normalize by target length, enabling comparison across proteins of different sizes. Standard for evaluating prediction accuracy against reference structures.
