Protein Structure Evaluation Suite & Server

[1] It has been designed at the University of Alberta to assist with the process of evaluating and validating protein structures solved by NMR spectroscopy.

PROSESS is also able to use NMR chemical shifts (as well as NOEs) to assess or validate protein structures.

PROSESS generates a detailed and colorful structure validation report, including tables, color-coded images and graphs or bar charts.

For most of its graphs and charts, PROSESS uses a simple RAG (red, amber, green) color scheme to indicate the quality of different structure parameters for the protein (as a whole), for different members of the structure ensemble, for specific residues and for specific atoms.

Each color is also assigned a number (ranging from 0 to 9 – with 0 being bad and 9 being excellent) so that the structure quality assessment is more quantifiable.
