A many-body term improves the accuracy of effective potentials based on protein coevolutionary data.

Abstract excerpt

The study of correlated mutations in alignments of homologous proteins proved to be successful not only in the prediction of their native conformation but also in the development of a two-body effective potential between pairs of amino acids. In the present work, we extend the effective potential, introducing a many-body term based on the same theoretical framework, making use of a principle of maximum entropy....
