Structural alignments are usually visualized as the superimposed backbone traces of the aligned models. The example at right shows the bacterial cell division protein <font color="#d80000"><b>FtsZ</b></font> ([[1fsz]]:A) aligned by [[#Dali|Dali]] with <!--e0b000--><font color="#d0a000"><b>mammalian tubulin</b></font> ([[1tub]]:A). Sequence identity in the structurally aligned regions is about 13%. | Structural alignments are usually visualized as the superimposed backbone traces of the aligned models.

*The non-aligned segments are white in the query (FtsZ) and thin in the target (tubulin). This scene is available in [[#Dali|Dali]] except that the target color has been changed to make it more distinct from the red query.

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.
