Key map:

Class:

-- Backbone Atom (Cα) Alignment; AllA -- All Atoms Alignment; SSE -- Secondary Structure Elements Alignment; Seq -- Sequence-based alignment Pair -- Pairwise Alignment (2 structures *only*); Multi -- Multiple Structure Alignment (MStA); C-Map -- Contact Map Surf -- Connolly Molecular Surface Alignment SASA -- Solvent Accessible Surface Area Dihed -- Dihedral Backbone Angles PB -- Protein Blocks

Flexible:

No -- Only rigid-body transformations are considered between the structures being compared. Yes -- The method allows for some flexibility within the structures being compared, such as movements around hinge regions.
