Question

The classification results from both systems, SCOP and CATH are quite dissimilar.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in unit test.

My question is based upon Protein Structure Classification topic in division Structural Bioinformatics of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) False

SCOP (Structural Classification of Proteins) and CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology, and Homology) are two commonly used systems for classifying protein structures. While their classification methods may differ slightly in terms of criteria and hierarchy, they generally provide similar results in terms of the broader classification of proteins into structural families. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say that the classification results are "quite dissimilar."
