Marks, Arne Elofsson Description: PconsFold: improved contact predictions improve protein models. Motivation: Recently it has been shown that the quality of protein contact prediction from evolutionary information can be improved significantly if direct and indirect information is separated. Given sufficiently large protein families, the contact predictions contain sufficient information to predict the structure of many protein families. However, since the first studies contact prediction methods have improved. Here, we ask how much the final models are improved if improved contact predictions are used. Results: In a small benchmark of 15 proteins, we show that the TM-scores of top-ranked models are improved by on average 33 Homepage: https://github.com/ElofssonLab/pcons-fold Source Code: https://github.com/ElofssonLab/pcons-fold Related Software: Ontobee; PlantTFDB; eggNOG; ELM; dbCAN; antiSMASH; dissectHMMER; HPMV; ANNIE; FreeContact; CCMpred; NNcon; MetaPSICOV; PSICOV; APOLLO; CONFOLD; ncPred; STITCH; MIND-BEST; SPAdes Cited in: 1 Publication Cited by 2 Authors 1 Carugo, Oliviero 1 Eisenhaber, Frank Cited in 1 Serial 1 Methods in Molecular Biology Cited in 2 Fields 1 Statistics (62-XX) 1 Biology and other natural sciences (92-XX) Citations by Year
