About TMQuery

The template modeling score (TM-score^[1]) is a widely used, but computationally expensive, measure of protein similarity that has applications across a wide array of structural biology tasks. Here, we introduce TMQuery – a database that contains over 9 billion pre-computed TM-score values from every pair of proteins in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) to enable researchers to quickly query TM-scores via a well-documented web interface and RESTful API.
