Abstract

Quality assessment of protein structures is an important part of experimental structure validation and plays a crucial role in protein structure prediction. Most current scoring functions are primarily de-signed to rank alternative models of the same sequence supporting model selection whereas the prediction of the absolute quality of an individual protein model has received little attention in the field. However, reliable absolute quality estimates are crucial to assess the suitability of a model for specific biomedical applications. We have developed a new absolute measure for the quality of protein models, which provides an estimate of the “degree of nativeness” of the structural features observed in a model and describes the likelihood that a given model is of comparable quality to experimental structures. Model quality scores for individual models are expressed as “Z-scores” in comparison to scores obtained for high-resolution crystal structures. We demonstrated the ability of the newly introduced QMEAN Z-score to detect experimentally solved protein structures containing significant errors, as well as to evaluate theoretical protein models.

The second part of the project aims at the development of potentials of mean force tailered for membrane protein models.
