  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2020.12.10.420109: (What is this?)

    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Missing residues in the crystal structure of CMTr1 were modeled using the Modeller package (39).

    suggested: (MODELLER, RRID:SCR_008395)
    This analysis was performed using the cluster centers and the equilibrium probabilities derived from the MSMs built on the residue level SASA described above.

    suggested: (MSMS, RRID:SCR_003532)
    Sequences alignment was performed on Clustal Omega server (56).

    Sequence alignment was visualized, and the sequence conservation score was generated using Jalview 2 software (57).

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.

    Markov State Models A Markov State Model (MSM) is a statistical framework for analyzing molecular dynamics simulations that provides a network representation of a free energy landscape. ( 37, 48, 49) To quantify cryptic pocket opening across the homologs and changes between monomeric Nsp16 and the Nsp10/Nsp16 complex, we performed several measurements that rely on MSMs built based on the simulation data.
