aAssignment accuracy at SCOP fold level.

bfastSCOP does not apply the reassignment step, which is step 4 in Figure 1A.

SCOP-586 consists of 586 query proteins, which are in SCOP1.69 but not in SCOP1.67; the search database is SCOP1.67.

Time was measured using a personal computer with an Intel Pentium 2.8 GHz processor with 1024 MB of RAM.
