So if I get it right this time, you didn't ask what commercial free tools are available to display your sequence alignment along with the secondary structure, is that correct? Could you please be more careful with your syntax cause it's kind of difficult to follow you.

Namely, given a structure-based alignment between your target and templates, you want to select which of the following alignments is the optimum:

target > HCSIHHSC Template1> HCSIHISC Template2> HCSHHISC ------------------------------------------------------- target > HCS-IHHSC Template1> HCS-IHISC Template2> HCSH-HISC ------------------------------------------------------- target > HCSI-HHSC Template1> HCS-IHISC Template2> HCS-HHISC

etc.

Is this what you seek?
