The point is that, whenever we propose a solution to a problem we ought to try as hard as we can to overthrow our solution, rather than defend it. Few of us, unfortunately, practice this percept; but other people, fortunately, will supply the criticism for us if we fail to supply it ourselves.

✦ Synopsis
Livermore Prediction Center provides basic infrastructure for the CASP (Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction) experiments, including prediction processing and verification servers, a system of prediction evaluation tools, and interactive numerical and graphical displays.
Here we outline the essentials of our approach, with discussion of the superposition procedures, definitions of basic measures, and descriptions of new methods developed to analyze predictions. Our primary focus is on the evaluation of threedimensional models and secondary structure predictions. To put the results of the three prediction experiments held to date on the same footing, the latest CASP3 evaluation criteria were retrospectively applied to both CASP1 and CASP2 predictions. Finally, we give an overview of our website (http://PredictionCenter.llnl.gov), which makes the target structures, predictions, and the evaluation system accessible to the community.

To generate structures consistent with both the local and nonlocal interactions responsible for protein stability, 3 and 9 residue fragments of known structures with local sequences similar to the target sequence were assembled into complete tertiary structures using a Monte Carlo simulated annealin
Comparative modeling targets 1, 3, 9, and 17 were predicted by alignment of multiple sequences and structures, when available, followed by minimization using the program AMMP. The minimization used improved potentials, and distance restraints for regions of common structure. New prediction procedure
The sequences of at least 23 of the 43 CASP3 targets showed no significant similarity to the sequences of known structures. The experimental structures of all but three of these 23 targets revealed substantial similarities to known structures, with at least eleven of the target structures likely bei
