A genetic algorithm with backtracking for protein structure prediction
In this paper, we propose a simple genetic algorithm for finding the optimal conformation of a protein using the three-dimensional square HP model. A backtracking procedure is use...

A robust and efficient algorithm for the shape description of protein structures and its application in predicting ligand bindin
Background: An accurate description of protein shape derived from protein structure is necessary to establish an understanding of protein-ligand interactions, which in turn will l...
