Question

In practical circumstances there exists an experimental structure of the complex.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in my homework.

This is a very interesting question from Evaluation of Models & Visualization Methods topic in section Predicting the Structure of Protein – Biomolecular Interactions of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: In practical circumstances an experimental structure of the complex does not already exist. Some other evaluation criteria are needed. This is by necessity experimental validation. The hypothetical protein-biomolecular complex predicts a mode of interaction between the two molecules that can be tested experimentally.
