Performance comparison for analysis algorithms. The computation time of performing popular tasks on biological data, starting from the package’s respective internal sequence or structure representation. Note the logarithmic scale. The performance between Biotite, Biopython, MDAnalysis, MDTraj and FreeSASA is shown. A missing bar indicates that the operation is not supported in the respective package. The average of 100 executions was taken. RMSD: Superimposition of a structure onto itself and subsequent RMSD calculation (PDB: 1AKI). Dihedral: Calculation of the backbone dihedral angles (ϕ, ψ, ω) of a protein (PDB: 1AKI). SASA: Calculation of the SASA of a protein (PDB: 1AKI). Align: Optimal global alignment of two 1,000 residues long polyalanine sequences
