How to Read the results

The structure of the result txt file

After calculating, you will get the results in the folder: /example/. Here we use the percentage of true positive contacts among the top 𝑁 predicted contacts to evaluate the results of our methods. In addition, we also evaluate the accuracy of 𝑡𝑜𝑝 𝐿/𝑘 (𝑘 =20) where 𝐿 is the length of one monomer of the homodimer.

Here is the structure of result file:

the top {𝑁} predicted contacts to evaluate the results:

Each line consists of 4 elements:
1、ranking of residue pairs            2、Residue1's number
3、Residue2's number                   4、score of residue pairs

Example:

#The top20predictions:
Number  Residue1  Residue2  Score
