The first column indicates the CASP10 target. The second column indicates the starting structure’s GDT_TS value as calculated using the TMScore program48. The third and fourth columns indicate the GDT_TS of the lowest energy dDFIRE24 and Rosetta23 structures, respectively. The fifth column indicates the best structure contained in the set of candidates after ICON clustering, in addition to the lowest energy dDFIRE and Rosetta structures. The seventh column indicates the GDT_TS of the best structure after refinement by KoBaMIN27. The eighth column is the best structure submitted in blind predictions during CASP10 by the wfFUIK method. The ninth and tenth columns indicate the best Model 1 and best of the five Models submitted in CASP10 by any method. Inline graphic text indicates that the structure was a refinement of the start. Inline graphic text indicates that the best contained model is more accurate than any submitted during CASP10. This demonstrates the selection challenge the structure prediction community faces. That is, even though there are sampling methods that can generate high-accuracy structures, the best forcefields and selection methods still cannot pick these “best” structures among the ensembles. If one were able to select the best produced Foldit structure, generated by the game players, this would be comparable to the best structure submitted in CASP by all groups.
