model.assess_dope() -- assess a model with the DOPE method

Output:

molpdf

Description:

This command assesses the quality of the model using the DOPE (Discrete Optimized Protein Energy) method. This is a statistical potential optimized for model assessment. As with model.assess_ga341(), this should be used for single chains only.

The DOPE model score is designed for selecting the best structure from a collection of models built by MODELLER. (For example, you could build multiple automodel models by setting automodel.ending_model, and select the model that returns the lowest DOPE score.) Currently the score is unnormalized with respect to the protein size and has an arbitrary scale, therefore scores from different proteins cannot be compared directly. A normalization scheme is under development.
