Computational Methods for Protein Structure Prediction and Modeling: Volume 1: Basic Characterization

by Ying Xu (Editor), Dong Xu (Editor), Jie Liang (Editor)

Volume One of this two-volume sequence focuses on the basic characterization of known protein structures, and structure prediction from protein sequence information. Eleven chapters survey of the field, covering key topics in modeling, force fields, classification, computational methods, and structure prediction. Each chapter is a self contained review covering definition of the problem and historical perspective; mathematical formulation; computational methods and algorithms; performance results; existing software; strengths, pitfalls, challenges, and future research.
