An Enhanced Genetic Algorithm for Ab Initio Protein Structure Prediction.

In-vitro methods for protein structure determination are time-consuming, cost-intensive, and failure-prone. Because of these expenses, alternative computer-based predictive methods have emerged. Predicting a protein's 3-D structure from only its amino acid sequence-also known as ab initio protein structure prediction (PSP)-is computationally demanding because the search space is astronomically lar...
