Abstract
Experimental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or x-ray diffraction analysis are widely used in order to determine tertiary pro- tein structures. But the rate at which protein structures can be determined by experimental techniques is much lower than the rate at which new genes are identified by the various genome projects. Therefore, there is considerable in- terest in mathematical methods to predict the tertiary structure of a protein ab initio from the primary structure.
