EDRW worst search 01

EDRW worst search dialog.

The worst search dialog appears when "(Re)set worst search params" is checked in EDRW's main dialog.

The dialog allows the user to specify which score parts are used in searching for the worst-scoring sections of the protein.

The score parts displayed depend on the puzzle and the version of Foldit.

If any score parts are checked, EDRW uses the corresponding subscores of each segment to determine the worst areas.

If no score parts are checked in the dialog, EDRW uses its default search behavior. EDRW starts with the total score of each segment.

For mutable segments, EDRW subtracts the segment's "reference" subscore from the total score for the segment.

For electron density puzzles, EDRW adds the weighted value of the segment's "density" subscore to the total score for the segment.

The density weight is determined as follows:

DENSITYWEIGHT = ( score - bonus - segment_total - 8000 ) / density_total

where:

  • score is the overall score for the protein
  • bonus is the bonus from conditions
  • segment_total is the total of the scores for each segment
  • density_total is the total of the "density" subscore for each segment

EDRW multiplies the segment's "density" subscore by DENSITYWEIGHT, and adds the result to the segment's score.
