The workflow of the MULTICOM method comprised of six steps. (1) A pool of tertiary structure models is predicted for a target protein. (2) Models are scored and ranked by different QA methods. (3) Models are clustered into groups based on structural similarity. (4) The consensus of individual QA rankings and other information are synthesized to generate the final ranking of all the models. (5) The final ranking and the clustering results are integrated to select top five diverse models for submission. (6) The top five models are combined to generate five refined models to be submitted to CASP11
