Note: C-score is a confidence score for estimating the quality of predicted models by I-TASSER. It is calculated based on the significance of threading template alignments and the convergence parameters of the structure assembly simulations. C-score is typically in the range of , where a C-score of higher value signifies a model with a high confidence and vice versa.
TM-score and RMSD are known standards for measuring structural similarity between two structures which are usually used to measure the accuracy of structure modeling. TM-score >0.5 indicates a model of correct topology.
