  • PROTEIN STRUCTURE PREDICTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210280268
    Abstract: The present invention is an accelerated conformational sampling method for predicting target peptide and protein structures comprising a process of determining energy minimized synthetic templates using a simple system for modeling individual molecular bonds within the subject peptide or protein. Use of these synthetic templates greatly reduces the computational resources necessary for optimally determining structural features of the target peptide or protein. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and efficient analysis of the effect of mutations on target peptides and proteins.
    Type: Application
