Abstract
We describe an efficient method to facilitate the visual comparison of cluster decompositions obtained from multiple variations of a protein structure, as well as the results of using different computational and experimental methods for obtaining such decompositions. Implemented as a web server application, this tool is useful for gaining information about protein folding cores, the effect of mutations on a protein’s stability, and for validation and better understanding of rigidity analysis.

The converse problem, where every \(C_j'\) in \(R'\) is a superset of at least one cluster \(C_i\) in R is not addressed because it does not correspond to any of the biological applications we are interested in and is only a slight variation of the original problem.
