Abstract
MOTIVATION Protein model quality assessment (ProteinQA) is a fundamental task that is essential for biologically relevant applications, i.e., protein structure refinement, protein design, etc. Previous works aimed to conduct ProteinQA only on the global structure or per-residue level, ignoring potentially usable and precise cues from a fine-grained per-atom perspective. In this study, we propose an atom-level ProteinQA model, named Atom-ProteinQA, in which two innovative modules are designed to extract geometric and topological atom-level relationships respectively. Specifically, on the one hand, a geometric perception module exploits 3D sparse convolution to capture the geometric features of the input protein, generating fine-grained atom-level predictions. On the other hand, natural chemical bonds are utilized to construct an atom-level graph, then message passing from a topological perception module is applied to output residue-level predictions in parallel. Eventually, through a cross-model aggregation module, features from different modules mutually interact, enhancing performance on both the atom and residue levels. RESULTS Extensive experiments show that our proposed Atom-ProteinQA outperforms previous methods by a large margin, regardless of residue-level or atom-level assessment. Concretely, we achieved state-of-the-art performance on CATH-2084, Decoy-8000, public benchmarks CASP13 & CASP14, and the CAMEO.

Abstract
Prediction of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a protein from its sequence is important for studying its biological function. With the advancement in deep learning contact distance prediction and residue-residue coevolutionary analysis, significant progress has been made in both template-based and template-free protein structure prediction in the last several years. Here, we provide a practical guide for our latest MULTICOM protein structure prediction system built on top of the latest advances, which was rigorously tested in the 2018 CASP13 experiment. Its specific functionalities include: (1) prediction of 1D structural features (secondary structure, solvent accessibility, disordered regions) and 2D interresidue contacts; (2) domain boundary prediction; (3) template-based (or homology) 3D structure modeling; (4) contact distance-driven ab initio 3D structure modeling; and (5) large-scale protein quality assessment enhanced by deep learning and predicted contacts. The MULTICOM web server ( http://sysbio.rnet.missouri.edu/multicom_cluster/ ) presents all the 1D, 2D, and 3D prediction results and quality assessment to users via user-friendly web interfaces and e-mails. The source code of the MULTICOM package is also available at https://github.com/multicom-toolbox/multicom .
