Following are the general energy terms used in the I-TASSER modeling:

• contact_cut.comm: Residue contact cutoff parameters
• contact_profile.comm: Side-chain contacts environment profile
• contact3.comm: Orientation-dependent side-chain contact potential
• CA13.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+2)
• CA14.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+3)
• CA15.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+4)
• CA14s.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+3) for strands
• CA14h.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+3) for helices
• CA15s.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+4) for strands
• CA15h.comm: Short-range C-alpha correlation of (i,i+4) for helices
• CB.comm: C-beta positions
• sidechain.comm: Sidechain center positions
