Notes from the publication: With 10 "difficult examples"<ref>Fischer,D., Elofsson,A., Rice,D. and Eisenberg,D. (1996) Assessing the performance of fold recognition methods by means of a comprehensive benchmark. In Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. pp. 300–318.</ref> FATCAT produced results comparable (length, RMSD) to the rigid alignment servers DALI, VAST, CE with no twists in 8 cases. This shows that FATCAT is not biased to introduce twists (hinges). Hinges were introduced in two of the difficult cases, producing arguably better alignments. In a comparison with ''FlexProt''<ref>PMID: 12112693</ref>, FATCAT obtained similar RMSD's and aligned lengths with fewer twists (hinges).
