Potential of genetic algorithms in protein folding and protein engineering simulations.
Genetic algorithms are very efficient search mechanisms which mutate, recombine and select amongst tentative solutions to a problem until a near optimal one is achieved. We introduce them as a new tool to study proteins. The identification and motivation for different fitness functions is discussed. The evolution of the zinc finger sequence motif from a random start is modelled. User specified ...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms for protein folding simulations.
Genetic algorithms methods utilize the same optimization procedures as natural genetic evolution, in which a population is gradually improved by selection. We have developed a genetic algorithm search procedure suitable for use in protein folding simulations. A population of conformations of the polypeptide chain is maintained, and conformations are changed by mutation, in the form of conventio...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms and protein folding.
Evolutionary Computation is, like neural networks, an example par excellence for an information processing paradigm that was originally developed and exhibited by nature and later discovered by man who subsequently transformed the general principle into computational algorithms to be put to work on computers. Nature makes in an impressive way use of the principle of genetic heritage and evoluti...
متن کاملGeneralized-Ensemble Algorithms for Protein Folding Simulations
Conventional simulations of complex systems in the canonical ensemble suffer from the quasi-ergodicity problem. A simulation in generalized ensemble overcomes this difficulty by performing a random walk in potential energy space and other parameter space. From only one simulation run, one can obtain canonical-ensemble averages of physical quantities as functions of temperature by the single-his...
متن کاملProtein Folding Prediction with Genetic Algorithms
Hydrophobic-hydrophilic model (HP model) is one of the most simplified and popular protein folding models. This model considers the hydrophobichydrophobic interactions of protein structures, but the results of prediction are not encouraged enough. Therefore, we suggest that some other features should be considered, such as SSEs, charges, and disulfide bonds. In this paper we propose a genetic a...
