Advances in computational protein design. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 128
Protein design is the art of choosing an amino acid
sequence that will fold into a
desired structure. Computational protein design aims
to quantify and automate this
process. In computational protein design, various
metrics may be used to calculate an
energy score for a sequence with respect to a desired
protein structure. An ongoing
challenge is to find the lowest-energy sequences from
amongst the vast multitude of
sequence possibilities. A variety of exact and
approximate algorithms may be used in this
search.
