Synopsis

This volume focuses on protein structure prediction methods and describes homology-based structure modeling, fold recognition of globular proteins, ab initio protein structure prediction, structure prediction of membrane proteins, prediction of structures of protein complexes, protein structure-based drug design, and structure prediction as a systems problem. It also contains a chapter listing Internet resources for protein structure/function characterization.
