Abstract:
A new effective and fast minimization approach completely based on the physical theory is proposed for protein design. The sequence space is essentially searched according to the Boltzmann distribution. In this approach, the relative entropy is used as a minimization object function. The method has been tested on an off-lattice model of proteins and the results are better than those obtained from other similar work. Therefore, it can be applied as a uniform frame for both folding and inverse folding of proteins.
