  1. The percentage improvements are shown for the Blosum62 combined topology-based matrices and the VT160_RA combined topology-based matrices. The results are shown for all helical, all beta sheet and mixed alpha and beta classes. Both types of combined topology-based matrices perform nearly equally well. The topology-based combined matrices show their best performances for all helical class
  2. aMixed alpha and beta corresponds to the combined group of alpha + beta structures and alpha/beta structures (consistent with CATH)
