An Off-Lattice HP Model with Side-Chains and S-S Bridges Impact for Protein Folding Problem
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: The proposed model takes into account highest degree of complexity – different size of radiuses of side-chains, mentioned below as radicals, and two stages of algorithm, including random structure initially and subsequent purposeful folding process according to the physical forces and energies. The objective function is three-componential – one member corresponding to the impact of the hydrophobic contacts of side-chains, next one to the impact of hydrogen bonds between peptide chain parts and third to the impact of S-S bridges.
