• Proteins placed together in the same fold category may not have a
common evolutionary origin: the structural similarities could
arise just from the physics and chemistry of proteins favoring
certain packing arrangements and chain topologies.

Ramachandran Plot
• Ramachandran’s plot is a protein structure validation tool for
checking the detailed residue-by-residue stereo-chemical
quality of a protein structure.
• A good homology model should have >90% of the residues in
the favorable region. Ramachandran plot was constructed for
each protein model using PROCHECK web-server.
PROCHECK
• PROCHECK (Laskowski et al., 1993) is used to estimate
the stereo-chemical quality of a model.
