Abstract

A new and general stochastic global optimization method that is easy to implement and combines energy landscape deformation ideas with elements of tabu search was developed. To illustrate the power of the approach, it was applied to the structure prediction of HP-36, a 36-residue peptide. For this large peptide, an unbiased all-atom simulation using ELP led to a 3D structure very close to the experimentally determined one.
