In this example, two structure pairs have similar topology in core regions, with TM-score=0.7 and 0.67 respectively. However, the tail/loop variations can result in significant differences in RMSD (from 1.9 Angstrom to 10.5 Anstrom). The figure is taken from Figure 5 of Nucleic Acids Research (2005) 33, 2303-2309.
