Molecular modeling of proteins: a strategy for energy minimization by molecular mechanics in the AMBER force field.

Abstract excerpt

Energy minimization is an important step in molecular modeling of proteins. In this study, we sought to develop a minimization strategy which would give the best final structures with the shortest computer time in the AMBER force field. In the all-atom model, we performed energy minimization of the melittin (mostly alpha-helical) and cardiotoxin (mostly beta-sheet and beta-turns) crystal structures by both...
