[ccp4bb]: Equivalence in Structural alignments
*** For details on how to be removed from this list visit the ***

Following on from the recent bb discussion on 'Structure-based sequence
alignment', I am wondering how one would decide whether or not two residues
are 'structurally equivalent' between two superimposed molecules if they
are not obviously sitting on top of one another. The regions I am concerned
with have the same number of residues in each molecule, so no obvious
insertions. Is there a consensus about the minimium distance between two
potentially equivalent positions or is it just a case of making a decision
and sticking with it.
As always, thanks in advance for any help.
