All runs are with m=22Å and s=5Å, and with adjacency constraint enforced, on the ASTRAL30 data set. 1CA refers to the α-carbon based algorithm and SS the secondary structure based one. 2Total, regardless of number of domains. 3Where SCOP and CATH differ, the choice which matched closest to our assignment was chosen in these runs. 4The algorithms were forced to cut into the number of domains specified by SCOP for each structure.
