Path of the polypeptide in bacteriorhodopsin.
Open accessAbstract
An attempt has been made to fit the amino acid sequence of bacteriorhodopsin to the three-dimensional density map of the molecule. First, seven segments of the sequence were selected as being probable transmembrane alpha helices. Then each of the 5040 possible ways of fitting these seven segments into the seven regions of helical density in the map were evaluated based on the criteria of connectivity of the nonhelical link regions, charge neutralization, and total scattering density per helix. A single model that may be experimentally tested emerged as the most probable.

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.
