A good Best-of-All has a SAS score less than SAS defined in the Best-of-All test, and an alignment missed by a particular method has a SAS score greater than SAS defined in the relaxed test.

a

Nmat is the size of the alignment. Overlap is defined as the percentage of the shorter structure that is matched.
