Homology modeling
From Christoph's Personal Wiki
Homology modeling, also known as comparative modeling of protein, refers to constructing an atomic-resolution model of the "target" protein from its amino acid sequence and an experimental three-dimensional structure of a related homologous protein (the "template"). Homology modeling relies on the identification of one or more known protein structures likely to resemble the structure of the query sequence, and on the production of an alignment that maps residues in the query sequence to residues in the template sequence. It has been shown that protein structures are more conserved than protein sequences amongst homologues, but sequences falling below a 20% sequence identity can have very different structure.[1]

"Consensus" indicates that the server collates results from multiple independent servers to form a final prediction, whereas "single" indicates that a server uses only its own local methods. The Model building/confidence measure column indicates whether a server provides as output 3D coordinates of a potential model ("Model") and a score indicating the confidence in the model (Z-score, P-value, E-value and so on). The "FR/ab initio" column indicates whether the server can produce results based only on remote homology/fold recognition ("FR") or can additionally build models in the absence of a template ("ab initio").[2]
