  • Title: Protein folding simulation with genetic algorithm and supersecondary structure constraints.
    Author: Cui Y, Chen RS, Wong WH.
    Journal: Proteins; 1998 May 15; 31(3):247-57. PubMed ID: 9593196.
    Abstract:
    We describe an algorithm to compute native structures of proteins from their primary sequences. The novel aspects of this method are: 1) The hydrophobic potential was set to be proportional to the nonpolar solvent accessible surface. To make computation feasible, we developed a new algorithm to compute the solvent accessible surface areas rapidly. 2) The supersecondary structures of each protein were predicted and used as restraints during the conformation searching processes. This algorithm was applied to five proteins. The overall fold of these proteins can be computed from their sequences, with deviations from crystal structures of 1.48-4.48 A for C(alpha) atoms.
