Efficient sampling in fragment-based protein structure prediction using an estimation of distribution algorithm.

Fragment assembly is a powerful method of protein structure prediction that builds protein models from a pool of candidate fragments taken from known structures. Stochastic sampling is subsequently used to refine the models. The structures are first represented as coarse-grained models and then as a...
