Genetic algorithms for protein structure prediction.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic algorithms are a general class of search methods that mimic natural gene-based optimization mechanisms. Mutation, cross-over and replication operations are performed on strings. When applied to structure prediction, each string describes a particular conformation of a protein molecule. There are many ways in which such search methods may be implemented. Recent results show potential for helping with...
