Abstract
The theorem presented in this paper is a general solution for the optimal superimposition between two protein structures, which is actually the problem of the weighted optimal rigid superimposition between two vector sets with the same size. The theorem gives not only the rotational and translational parameters, but also the minimal value of the mean squared deviation of the optimal superimposition.
