Model Challenge Targets

The eight targets chosen by the model challenge committee are shown below.  All are based on recently reported 3DEM structures.  The target order is according to unique molecular weight, from 19 kDa (TMV) at left to 2500 kDa (ribosome) at right. For challenge rules and additional information about each target see the model challenge guide.  

April 28: Corrected symmetry center info and BIOMT matrix files for the proteasome and beta-galactosidase targets, see the model challenge guide.

May 3: Corrected BIOMT matrix file containing Icosahedral transformations for Brome Mosaic Virus, see the model challenge guide.

Target Map Download: You can use this rsync script to download target maps from one of three wwPDB ftp sites. Alternately, you can download individual maps from EMDB atlas pages (click on EMDB entry link in the table below, select "download" tab).

  1. Tobacco Mosaic Virus 2. T20S Proteasome 3. GroEL 4. TRPV1 Channel 5. Brome Mosaic Virus 6. β-Galactosidase 7. γ-Secretase 8. 70S Ribosome
