Computational Methods for Protein Structure Prediction and Modeling: Volume 2: Structure Prediction / Edition 1

by Ying Xu, Dong Xu, Jie Liang

Overview

Volume 2 of this two-volume sequence focuses on protein structure prediction and includes protein threading, De novo methods, applications to membrane proteins and protein complexes, structure-based drug design, as well as structure prediction as a systems problem. A series of appendices review the biological and chemical basics related to protein structure, computer science for structural informatics, and prerequisite mathematics and statistics.
