Pmodeller is a Model Quality Assessment Program (MQAP) this means that it ranks protein models by assessing their quality. The Pmodeller protocol is uses combination of our consensus protocol Pcons and our structural assessment protocol ProQ to provide an improved prediction of model quality.

Pmodeller has consistently performed better than Pcons in CASP5, CASP6 and CASP7, showing that the structural assessment protocol ProQ clearly helps.
