Two filters exploit the radius of gyration, , to
remove non-compact maps. Analysis of the
high
quality domains shows that
,
where
is the length of the structure in residues.
For each map, a coarse
is first calculated by considering the
centroids of secondary structures, and their C-terminal
loops as point masses. A fine
is also calculated
by considering all matched residues (plus C-terminal loops)
as point masses. Maps are
removed if either
value is greater than the
maximum for compact domains of the same length.
