The morph algorithm is done domain by domain. For each domain, the domains in the two structures are superimposed. and the | The morph algorithm is done domain by domain. For each domain, the domains in the two structures are superimposed. and the superimposed domains are gradually moved from the initial to the final orientation. Then, in the second phase, coordinates are interpolated through a linear interpolation. The result is a smooth change in orientation and in conformation. Because there is a rigid body movement in the first phase, positions of a given atom are on curved rather than straight trajectories. To maintain connectivity of covalently linked domains, anchors are used (see below). | ||
