Improving biologically inspired protein structure prediction using satisfied predicted contacts

Thesis

The number of published protein structures is vastly outnumbered by protein sequences - this gap is only increasing as sequencing technologies continue to advance. Experimental methods of protein structure determination are costly and slow; computational protein structure prediction could be a solution.

A major problem with current methods of protein structure prediction is the large amount of computational time needed to generate an accurate structure for one protein. For some ...
