firestar performance during CASP8. Over the CASP8 targets, firestar obtained an MCC score of 0.75 when predicting residues in contact with ligands at a distance threshold of 0.5 Å plus van der Waals distances. The figure shows the targets separated into easier and harder targets based on their homology to known structures (10). firestar had higher MCC scores than all officially participating groups in CASP8, including human predictors.
