The quality of predictions for the structure of ORF8 are judged by comparison with X-ray crystallographic [[empirical models]] which were not available to the groups making predictions. Shortly after the CASP 14 competition (summer 2020), two X-ray crystal structures were reported for ORF8: [[7jtl]] released August 26, 2020, and [[7jx6]], released September 23, 2020. The [[resolution|resolutions]] are 2.0 and 1.6 Å respectively, and both have worse than average [[Rfree]] values.

Here is one chain of ORF8 from the higher resolution X-ray structure, [[7jx6]]. These chains form [http://firstglance.jmol.org/fg.htm?mol=7jx6 disulfide-linked dimers], and the dimers form higher order multimers<ref name="multimers">PMID: 33361333</ref> (not shown).

The only substantial disagreement is for a large surface loop, sequence range 48-57.
