Abstract

The protein structure prediction (PSP) problem is considered an open problem as there is no recognized "best" procedure to find solutions. Moreover, this problem presents a vast search space and the analysis of each protein conformation requires significant amount of computing time. We propose a reduction of the search space by using the dependent rotamer library. Also this work introduces new heuristics to improve the multi-objective optimization approach to this problem.
