요약 | Existing computational approaches for protein structure modeling and prediction typically involve a multi-term potential energy function, more commonly referred to as a 'force field'. These force fields typically model various physical phenomena |
요약 | To address this problem, my dissertation examines the extent to which a simplified energy function that includes only stereochemical constraints and repulsive hard-sphere interactions can correctly predict side-chain dihedral angles of amino aci |
요약 | This dissertation presents three major computational studies. I first examine the hard-sphere predictions of single and multiple repacking of residues in protein cores, and demonstrate that steric interactions are the dominant force in specifyin |
요약 | This work contributes to the forefront of computational protein design by providing an alternate, simplified approach to protein modeling and an understanding of the limitations of the hard-sphere model. With this information, we can gain fundam |
