Automated design of energy functions for protein structure prediction by means of genetic programming and improved structure similarity assessment

The process of protein structure prediction is a crucial part of understanding the function of the building blocks of life. It is based on the approximation of a protein free energy that is used to guide the search through the space of protein structures towards the thermodynamic equilibrium of the...
