What is Procheck?
PROCHECK checks the stereochemical quality of a protein structure, producing a number of PostScript plots analysing its overall and residue-by-residue geometry. It includes PROCHECK-NMR for checking the quality of structures solved by NMR.
What is ERRAT?
ERRAT is a so-called “overall quality factor” for non-bonded atomic interactions, with higher scores indicating higher quality. The generally accepted range is >50 for a high quality model. For the current 3D model, the overall quality factor predicted by the ERRAT server was 80.524 (Figure 3).
What is verify3d?
Determines the compatibility of an atomic model (3D) with its own amino acid sequence (1D) by assigning a structural class based on its location and environment (alpha, beta, loop, polar, nonpolar etc) and comparing the results to good structures.
What does a Ramachandran plot show?
The Ramachandran plot shows the statistical distribution of the combinations of the backbone dihedral angles ϕ and ψ. In theory, the allowed regions of the Ramachandran plot show which values of the Phi/Psi angles are possible for an amino acid, X, in a ala-X-ala tripeptide (Ramachandran et al., 1963).
