Methods for judging the reliability and quality of empirical models are discussed at [[Quality assessment for molecular models]]. Independent determinations of the same protein by empirical methods generally agree within about 0.5 Å RMS for carbon alphas (reference needed).
Empirical models are not ''theoretical models'', but are mentioned here for the sake of completeness. Empirical models, usually determined by [[X-ray crystallography]] or [[Nuclear magnetic resonance]], are the most reliable and accurate models available. Methods for judging the reliability and quality of empirical models are discussed at [[Quality assessment for molecular models]]. Independent determinations of the same protein by empirical methods generally agree within about 0.5 Å RMS for carbon alphas (reference needed).
