GPU-Q-J, a fast method for calculating root mean square deviation (RMSD) after optimal superposition

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Calculation of the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the atomic coordinates of two optimally superposed structures is a basic component of structural comparison techniques. We describe a quaternion based method, GPU-Q-J, that...
