  Mtr homology model requires structural refinement to erroneous regions that are not aligned correctly to the template. In this study, refinement methods: LM, MDS, 3Drefine, GalaxyRefine and FG-MD were compared. Errat plot showed a gradual increase in the overall quality factor of ~96% using LM, while there was abrupt increment of >90% for MDS, GalaxyRefine and FG-MD. In the case of LM, structure compatibility decreased to ~53%, whereas it increased to >74% in case of MDS and GalaxyRefine. Ramachandran plot showed residues in favoured region mobilized to allowed and outlier regions in LM, which led to an increased in 3.5% outlier residues. Similarly, 3Drefine and FG-MD also showed increase in outlier residues. In contrast, % residues available in favoured and outlier regions are observed to mobilize into allowed region in case of MDS and GalaxyRefine leading to decreased outlier .. View More»
