This paper presents an enhanced genetic algorithm for the protein structure prediction problem. A new fitness function, that uses the concept of radius of gyration, is proposed. Al...
Background: Structural variations caused by a wide range of physico-chemical and biological sources directly influence the function of a protein. For enzymatic proteins, the struc...

Background: Protein function is often dependent on subsets of solvent-exposed residues that may exist in a similar three-dimensional configuration in non homologous proteins thus ...
Background: The post-genomic era is characterised by a torrent of biological information flooding the public databases. As a direct consequence, similarity searches starting with ...
