Computational methods in protein structure prediction

Biotechnol Bioeng. 2007 Jun 1;97(2):207-13. doi: 10.1002/bit.21411.

Abstract

This review presents the advances in protein structure prediction from the computational methods perspective. The approaches are classified into four major categories: comparative modeling, fold recognition, first principles methods that employ database information, and first principles methods without database information. Important advances along with current limitations and challenges are presented.
