There are two common applications of structural alignment servers:
There are two common applications of structural alignment servers:
# '''Pairwise alignment'''. All servers listed below enable you to upload two 3D models (or specify them from the [[PDB]]) and generate a structural alignment.
# '''Pairwise alignment'''. All servers listed below enable you to upload two 3D models (or specify them from the [[PDB]]) and generate a structural alignment.
# '''Structure neighbors'''. Some servers (notably [[#Dali]], ) enable you to upload one 3D model (or specify one in the [[PDB]]) and generate a list of the closest structures in the [[PDB]], based on pairwise structural alignments between your query structure versus all structures in the [[PDB]].
# '''Structure neighbors'''. Some servers (notably [[#Dali|Dali]], [[#FATCAT|FATCAT]],  and [[#VAST|VAST]]) enable you to upload one 3D model (or specify one in the [[PDB]]) and generate a list of the closest structures in the [[PDB]], based on pairwise structural alignments between your query structure versus all structures in the [[PDB]].
