Hi
Okay I have calculated the DOPE scores and I will use these. Just out
of interest, is there are way of utilising the Z scores or compactness
scores from GA341? From the example below I am assuming that the lower
the Z score the better, would this be correct? Also when it comes to
the compactness value is a higher or lower score better?
Many thanks
Jo

GA341 is not sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between two 'very
good' models. Any good model will give a score very close to 1 ( e.g.
running GA341 on most PDB structures will give a 1.0 score). You should
use it only to discard 'bad' models (e.g. those with score less than
0.6). DOPE may be more sensitive in your case.
