Prediction of cis/trans isomerization in proteins using PSI-BLAST profiles and secondary structure information
Background: The majority of peptide bonds in proteins are found to occur in the trans conformation. However, for proline residues, a considerable fraction of Prolyl peptide bonds ...

A genetic algorithm with backtracking for protein structure prediction
In this paper, we propose a simple genetic algorithm for finding the optimal conformation of a protein using the three-dimensional square HP model. A backtracking procedure is use...

Use of a structural alphabet for analysis of short loops connecting repetitive structures
Background: Because loops connect regular secondary structures, analysis of the former depends directly on the definition of the latter. The numerous assignment methods, however, ...

Evolutionary design of the energy function for protein structure prediction
— Automatic protein structure predictors use the notion of energy to guide the search towards good candidate structures. The energy functions used by the state-of-the-art predict...
