Structural alignments are usually visualized as the superimposed backbone traces of the aligned models. | Structural alignments are usually visualized as the superimposed backbone traces of the aligned models.

It is very helpful to color the target alpha carbons by deviation from the query model: red indicates large deviations (poor alignment) while blue indicates small deviations (good alignment), with white indicating average alignment. The stand-alone programs [[#DeepView = Swiss-PDBViewer]] and [[#PyMOL]] color alignments by RMSD but the results cannot be easily exported to Jmol. Surprisingly, none of the servers listed below color their alignments by deviation. Unfortunately, I found NO way to color the alignment by RMSD in Jmol. | It is very helpful to color the target alpha carbons by deviation from the query model: red indicates large deviations (poor alignment) while blue indicates small deviations (good alignment), with white indicating average alignment.
