Abstract

Previously we demonstrated the feasibility of generating large number of protein conformations within the shape outlined by the known structure and subsequently evaluating them to demonstrate that the residue-residue potential functions can be usefully applied to assess them(Covell and Jernigan, 1990). In this paper we are going to outline some ways to improve the efficiencies of such generations and evaluations.
