Raptorx: Exploiting structure information for protein alignment by statistical inference
Open accessAbstract
This work presents RaptorX, a statistical method for template‐based protein modeling that improves alignment accuracy by exploiting structural information in a single or multiple templates. RaptorX consists of three major components: single‐template threading, alignment quality prediction, and multiple‐template threading. This work summarizes the methods used by RaptorX and presents its CASP9 result analysis, aiming to identify major bottlenecks with RaptorX and template‐based modeling and hopefully directions for further study. Our results show that template structural information helps a lot with both single‐template and multiple‐template protein threading especially when closely‐related templates are unavailable, and there is still large room for improvement in both alignment and template selection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
