A Parallel Framework for Multipoint Spiral Search in ab Initio Protein Structure Prediction

Table 7

The best and average contact energies obtained from 8 different approaches using Berrera et al. [25] energy matrix. Rowwise bold-faced values are the winners for the corresponding proteins amongst the variants of spiral search (both single and parallel frameworks) and bold-italic-faced values are the winners for the corresponding proteins amongst all 8 approaches. For both energy and RMSD values, the lower the better.
