Title: Protein structure optimization with a "Lamarckian" ant colony algorithm. Author: Oakley MT, Richardson EG, Carr H, Johnston RL. Journal: IEEE/ACM Trans Comput Biol Bioinform; 2013; 10(6):1548-52. PubMed ID: 24407312. Abstract: We describe the LamarckiAnt algorithm: a search algorithm that combines the features of a "Lamarckian" genetic algorithm and ant colony optimization. We have implemented this algorithm for the optimization of BLN model proteins, which have frustrated energy landscapes and represent a challenge for global optimization algorithms. We demonstrate that LamarckiAnt performs competitively with other state-of-the-art optimization algorithms.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
