Description:

SSM is a macromolecular coordinate superposition library, written by
Eugene Krissinel.

The library implements the SSM algorithm of protein structure
comparison in three dimensions, which includes an original procedure
of matching graphs built on the protein's secondary-structure
elements, followed by an iterative three-dimensional alignment of
protein backbone Calpha atoms.

The algorithm implemented by the software is described in:
E. Krissinel & K. Henrick (2004) Secondary-structure matching (SSM), a
new tool for fast protein structure alignment in three dimensions.
Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 60, 2256-68.

This package contains the shared library components needed for programs
that have been compiled with the ssm library.
