Abstract We present the results for CAPRI Round 54, 5th joint CASP‐CAPRI protein assembly prediction challenge. The offered 37 targets, including 14 homodimers, 3 homo‐trimers, 13 heterodimers antibody–antigen complexes, and 7 large assemblies. On average ~70 CASP predictor groups, more than 20 automatics servers, submitted models each target. A total of 21 941 by these groups 15 scorer were evaluated using model quality measures DockQ score consolidating measures. performance was quantified...
