Protein structure prediction on a lattice model via multimodal optimization techniques

Authors Info & Claims
Published:07 July 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper considers the protein structure prediction problem as a multimodal optimization problem. In particular, de novo protein structure prediction problems on the 3D Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) lattice model are tackled by evolutionary algorithms using multimodal optimization techniques. In addition, a new mutation approach and performance metric are proposed for the problem. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithms are more effective than the state-of-the-arts algorithms, even though they are simple.
