===Multiple chain structural alignment===
===Multiple chain structural alignment===
====Multiple chains in each of two models====
CE and FATCAT align only one chain at a time. DaliLite appears to align multiple chains, although the output is confusing and not clearly labeled.  [[#DeepView = Swiss-PDBViewer|DeepView = Swiss-PDBViewer]] can align multiple chains, including both protein and DNA chains in a single alignment (''Iterative Magic Fit'').

====One model vs. many other models====
[[#Dali|Dali]],  [[#FATCAT|FATCAT]],  and [[#VAST|VAST]] enable you to upload a 3D model, or specify a [[PDB code]], and obtain a list of the most similar structures in the [[PDB]], called '''structure neighbors'''.
