Superpose
From Christoph's Personal Wiki
superpose - structural alignment based on secondary structure matching. It is part of the CCP4 package and was written by Eugene Krissinel of the European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, UK.
Background
"While high sequence similarity almost always implies structural similarity, the opposite is not true. It is therefore expected that three-dimensional alignment will provide more significant clues to protein function and properties than sequence alignment alone".[1]
