Analogy-based protein structure prediction: I. A new database of spatially similar and dissimilar structures of protein domains for testing and optimizing prediction methods

The creation and analysis of the 3Dfold_test database are described. This database comprises a large set of pairs of spatially similar protein domain structures and a larger control set of “decoys,” spatially dissimilar protein structures with approximately the same size and compactness as each member of each pair. The database is available at http://phys.protres.ru/resources/prediction_analogy/3Dfold
