CCL: summary homology modeling



 Dear netters,
 Here is the summary concerning the validation of homology or comparative
 modeling methods; the original posting was:
 I'm looking for examples of homology modeling methods validated by the
 comparison between the model built and the known structure determined by =
 X-ray
 crystallography. Any reference about such examples ?
