Evaluation of the ContaMiner cutoff criteria. MoRDa Q_factor and percent scores were plotted for 45 positive (matching) and 530 negative (not matching) PDB/data file pairs. The percent score of 90% was empirically chosen as a cutoff value for positive results (i.e. contaminant present) on the basis of this analysis. The outlier positive control with a percent score of 52% is PDB ID 1f6m (Lennon et al., 2000), a 3 Å-resolution complex of ∼1700 residues, with four molecules of thioredoxin (108 residues each). |
