Sorry to intrude
Dear Mouses, May I ask what method do you use to select the best (or bests) models if you do not relay on DOPE score?.
My experience is that DOPE, like any other score for any other "bioinformatics" prediction method is not perfect, but it has always given me good structures, perhaps not the best, but more than good enough (except when there are "knots" in the structure, but for that I have eyes :) ).
thank you in advance

Ive modelled proteins of already known structures, then calculated their RMSD by aligning my computed models through modeller with the structure found in PDB. it has shown that not always the model with the lowest DOPE or nomralized DOPE for that matter has the best RMSD results with the PDB structure. > > ________________________________________ > From: modeller_usage-bounces@salilab.orgmodeller_usage-bounces@salilab.org on behalf of vipul@nccs.res.invipul@nccs.res.in > Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 4:31 PM > To: modeller_usage@salilab.org > Subject: [modeller_usage] DOPE score based model selection > > Dear Modeller_usage members, > > Is it necessary to select the best protein model based on DOPE scores? > I have made 100 models of a ~260 residue protein (enzyme) using Modeller. > Then I chose the best model based on the DOPE Score and did loop > refinement on a 16-residue long loop (50 refined models created) located > at active site cleft.
