Abstract
In this article, we develop a quantitative comparison method for two arbitrary protein structures. This method uses a rootmean-square deviation characterization and employs a series expansion of the protein’s shape function in terms of the Wigner-D functions to define a new criterion, which is called a “similarity value.” We further demonstrate that the expansion coefficients for the shape function obtained with the help of the Wigner-D functions correspond to structure factors. Our method addresses the common problem of comparing two proteins with different numbers of atoms. We illustrate it with a worked example.
