I have found the command to superimpose 2 similar structures
'align struc1, struct2'

But what if I need to superimpose more than 2 similar structures (say 5 or 6), what would be the command for that?

    PyMOL doesn't do multiple sequence alignments, but you can align multiple objects to a single shared targets...

    align mobile1, target1

    align mobile2, target2

    etc.

    Whoops, I meant:

    align mobile1, target1

    align mobile2, target1

    align mobile3, target1

    etc.

    Thank you very much for your comments.
    So from what I understand is that I keep one structure as 'constant' and align all others with respect to that structure. Am I right?
