Figure 8From: Using least median of squares for structural superposition of flexible proteinsResidual histograms of five protein systems (ER α , RAN, Myosin, Calmodulin, and Topo II) in the final superpositions. Here a histogram is constructed by segmenting the distance from 0Å to 10Å into 10 equal sized ranges (each range is 1Å) and counting the number of atom pairs whose distance is within each ranges. The horizontal axis of the histogram is labeled with the range (Å) of residual of atom pairs, and the vertical axis of the histogram is the number of atom pairs whose residuals are within the corresponding range. Note that the number of counts for the LMS and wRMSD superpositions within the range of 0 – 1Å is far larger than one for the RMSD and sieve-fit superpositions.Back to article page
