Empirical models are available for only a small fraction of all proteins, probably <10%. If an empirical model is not available, the next best thing would be a [[homology model]]. About one third of all proteins can be reliably homology modeled, but homology models have [[Practical_Guide_to_Homology_Modeling#Limitations_of_Homology_Modeling|more uncertainties]] than do empirical models. | Empirical models are available for only a small fraction of all proteins, probably <10%.

A set of standard color schemes for macromolecules, called [[DRuMS]], was released in 2000. These color schemes are offered on buttons in Proteopedia's [[Scene Authoring Tools]]. They derive in part from physical ball and stick models (called [[CPK|Corey-Pauling-Kolton or CPK]] models) that pre-dated computer visualization. Those early colors for chemical elements were incorporated into the color schemes built into early [[Molecular modeling and visualization software|Molecular Visualization Software]] such as [[Kinemages%2C_Mage_and_KiNG|Kinemages]], [[RasMol]], and [[Chime]]. The CPK colors for elements were incorporated into the [http://jmol.sourceforge.net/jscolors/ color schemes] built into [[Jmol]], the visualization engine used in Proteopedia. | A set of standard color schemes for macromolecules, called [[DRuMS]], was released in 2000.
