TABLE 1.

Summary of RMSD values for our test cases

Molecule Backbone atoms All buried heavy atoms All heavy atoms
GpA 0.89 1.30 2.26
KcsA 1.59 1.96 2.42
MscL 1.88 2.57 3.36
(TM1 / TM2) (1.17 / 2.21) (1.37 / 3.38) (1.78 / 4.34)

The second row of MscL gives values for each of the two subsets of helices independently. The higher values for TM2 reflect its screw motion relative to the x-ray structure.
