Comparative results of DistBoost (left plot and bars C-D) and RANKPEP (bars A-B) on 24 MHC class I molecules. Plot legends are identical to Fig 4. On 21 out of the 25 molecules (including Fig. 4), DistBoost outperforms both PSSM methods. On this data the use of negative constraints also improves performance. For numerical comparison, see additional file 1: Pepdist _SupplementaryMaterials.ps, Table 1.
