Summary
A checklist of items to include in publications describing protein
modelling and use of such models was developed. The presented guidelines
are straightforward to follow and implement. However, authors have to be
meticulous to record all necessary details. By doing so, the produced
data will facilitate readers to evaluate, validate and use the generated
models for further purposes. Models can be valuable and take substantial
effort to generate. It is important to share them, preferably at one of
the available repositories.
These guidelines are applicable also to other structural
modelling-related studies, such as docking, binding and protein-protein
interaction predictions (Aderinwale et al., 2020). Technical and other
details and requirements discussed above are essential for understanding
and evaluation of these studies, as well.
