A multiobjective evolutionary method for the design of peptidic mimotopes.

Abstract excerpt

Peptides that mimic protein epitopes are interesting drug candidates. However, the design of effective peptidic drugs is difficult for several reasons, such as the fast degradation of peptides, their high flexibility, and thus high entropy loss on binding to the target. We therefore propose an in silico method for the automated design of peptides that are optimal with respect to several objectives. We present a...
