Re: [modeller_usage] Can I calculate the "Objective Function" based on a PDB without doing the comparative modelling?

The objective function scores how well the model fits the set of Modeller restraints. It wouldn't tell you anything useful for a model built using another technique. It sounds like what you're looking for is a model evaluation method, such as DOPE: https://salilab.org/modeller/9.24/manual/node259.html or SOAP: https://salilab.org/modeller/9.24/manual/node283.html

There's also a web server at https://salilab.org/evaluation/
