Overlapping proteins and minimizing the RMS

So far we eliminate the translation. This was a simple but an important step. As discussed earlier before applying rotations it is necessary to place the object at the origin.

The next step is a little more complicated. Conceptually it is similar to the translation. We need to find the rotation matrix that will minimize the RMS like we did with the translation.
