MM-align is designed to structurally align multimeric protein complexes using heuristic iteration of dynamic programming based on TM-score rotation matrix. The multple chains in each complex are first joined, in every possible order, and then simultaneously aligned with cross-chain alignment prevented. The alignment on interface structures can be enhenced by MM-align by an interface-specific weighting factor. A TM-score is reported for assessing the structural similarity of two complexes.
