The development of an energy or scoring function for protein structure prediction is greatly enhanced by testing the func–tion on a set of computer–generated conformations (decoys) to determine whether it can readily distinguish native–like conforma–tions from nonnative ones. We have created “Decoys “R” Us,” a database containing many such sets of conformations, to provide a resource that allows scoring functions to be improved.
