Background: When accurate models for the divergent evolution of protein sequences are integrated with complementary biological information, such as folded protein structures, anal...
A protein is identified by a finite sequence of aminoacids, each of them chosen from a set of 20 elements. The Protein Structure Prediction Problem is the problem of predicting t...
The protein folding problem consists of predicting the functional (native) structure of the protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. Despite extensive progress made in un...
Background: Computational comparison of two protein structures is the starting point of many methods that build on existing knowledge, such as structure modeling (including modeli...
The prediction of the native structures of proteins, the socalled protein folding problem, is a NP hard multi-minima optimization problem for which to date no routine solutions ex...
