This is just a place to add criticism and or positive feedback so we Jonathan and Sebastian have a possibility to improve. Please note, that we wont be able to adress all matters immediately but we will address them eventually!

criticism

  • variety of methods to be used for tertiary structure prediction: I know three types: ab-initio, homology modeling, threading. What else is out there?
  • What is the purpose of listing the results of three different search tools and not just, for instance, HHsearch?
  • Why do you not use common templates of different sequence identity (high, medium, low) for all three methods (Modeller, SWISS-MODEL, I-TASSER)? How will you compare the methods otherwise?
  • Did you compare 2phm to 1pah? They should look identical if the sequence identity is 95%.
  • Figure 3: Is the blue structure actually 1pah? It looks different from figure 1 and the thread seems rather unusual.
  • SWISS-MODEL finds of course 1J8U:A since the sequence identity is 100%
  • There are still plenty of spelling errors.
  • In the above 80% dataset we find again our structure from above. Would you write this in a paper?
  • You might make your plots more uniform, e.g. by using the same background color.
