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.
