Asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference (95% confidence level) with respect to the LoopIng method based on an unpaired t-test. (a, b, c) Mean RMSD and Standard Deviation for LoopIng, DG, and LW respectively. (d) Percentage of cases where LoopIng, DG and LW were able to give a prediction closer than 1 Å with respect to the native loop. (e, f) percentage of cases where LoopIng was more accurate (LoopIng < DG) and significantly better (ΔRMSD ≥ 1 Å) compared to DG and LW respectively.
