Table 2.

RMSD values were computed for each pair of homology model structures in our ensemble. The average RMSD was 1.27 Angstroms. The maximum RMSD was 1.675 Angstroms. This is close to the length of an alkane bond (1.54 Angstroms), and less than what is considered good resolution for a protein crystal structure (2.4 Angstroms).

PocketFeature computes the similarity of binding sites by comparing sets of protein microenvironments [15]. Scores below −4.0 indicate very high similarity (Supplementary Figure 2). Highly similar pockets are likely to bind the same ligands. We have previously used PocketFeature to identify novel off-target activity of kinase inhibitors and SERMs [15,17]. Here we use it to assess the similarity of homology model binding sites. The binding sites of our homology models exhibit extremely high similarity in a range which is typically observed for different crystal structures of the same protein.
