The effects of biasing torsional mutations in a conformational GA.

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes the effects of incorporating torsional bias into a conformational Genetic Algorithm (GA) such as that found in the GASP program. Several major conclusions can be drawn. Biasing torsional angles toward values associated with local energy minima increases the rate of convergence of the fitness function (consisting of energy, steric, and pharmacophoric compatibility terms) for a set of...
