Abstract

This chapter demonstrates the application of genetic algorithms to the ab initio protein folding problem. In particular, solutions to the representation issue of protein tertiary structure, of domain-specific genetic operators and a vector fitness function for fold evaluation are presented. Finally, limitations of this approach are discussed.
