Bio-inspired optimization & sampling technique for side-chain packing in MCCE
… on a sub-problem of protein folding known as side-chain packing. Its computational complexity has been proven to be NP-Hard. The motivation behind our study is to offer the scientific community a means to obtain faster conformation approximations for small to large proteins over currently …

Redesigning specificity in miniproteins
… structure with near-perfect prediction of core side-chain packing. In a second round of design, the BBA heterotetramer was stabilized to near-native stability. Next, the coiled-coil region within the Bcr (breakpoint cluster region) oligomerization domain was used to probe antiparallel versus …

Explorations into protein structure with the knob-socket model
… amino acids, which results in non-specific packing of amino acid side-chains. The knob-socket model attempts to organize side-chain packing into tetrahedral packing motifs. This tetrahedral motif is characterized with a three residues on the same secondary structure forming the base of the …

Structure, dynamics, and interactions of Angiotensin family of peptides with functional implications.
… predict fewer sampled conformations, tighter side-chain packing and marked increase of Phe8 solvent accessibility upon AngI truncation to AngII. Our combined approach of experiment and extensive computer simulation thus yields new information on the conformational dynamics of the angiotensins, …

A series of advanced scoring functions in ranking protein structures
Designing an efficient scoring function is one of the most challenging tasks in computational biology. A good potential functions or scoring functions can help rank protein structures models, guide the search and identify possible solutions. This is very important for protein structure prediction. …
