Title: Finding the needle in the haystack: Algorithms for conformational optimization

Journal Article · · Computers in Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.168582· OSTI ID:383090

Algorithms are given for comformational optimization of proteins. The protein folding problems is regarded as a problem of global energy mimimization. Since proteins have hundreds of atoms, finding the lowest-energy conformation in a many-dimensional configuration space becomes a computationally demanding problem.{copyright} {ital American Institute of Physics.}
