[phenixbb] Superimposing homologues

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Young-Jin,

yes, you can do it in PHENIX:

phenix.superpose_pdbs [pdb_file_fixed] [pdb_file_moving] [parameter_file]

More details:

http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/superpose_pdbs.htm

Regarding your 3rd question: I'm not sure how you define an average 
structure. You need to define it first, then find out how to obtain it, 
and then you will be able to use the above tool

Let me know if you have questions.

Pavel.
