Bob,
Thank you. I think that I will use both the atom-based coordinate-coordinate least-squares optimization (as in PyMol) and quaternion-based orientation-orientation least-squares optimization (your innovation) in our website. Then, people could decide for themselves which fit they like. For the example of Kt-38 to Kt-7, the atom-based coordinate-coordinate least squares optimization is better in some areas and in other areas the quaternion-based orientation-orientation least-squares optimization is better. Now, I will work on adding this feature to our kink-turn database. Thank you again and if another question arises, I will shoot you an email. Have a good weekend.

Hope you like it! The example illustrates both atom-based coordinate-coordinate least-squares optimization (as in PyMol) and quaternion-based orientation-orientation least-squares optimization (my innovation). Thank you so much for getting me going on this. I've learned way more than I expected to learn, and the fact that doing this all with quaterions only requires about 50 lines of added Java code to Jmol still just knocks me out.
