Summary:

Volume 1 of this two-volume sequence focuses on the basic characterization of known protein structures as well as structure prediction from protein sequence information. The eleven chapters provide an overview and comprehensive coverage of the field, including energy functions, structure domain partition, structure comparison, structure geometry, prediction of local structure and residue-residue contact map, homology modeling, aggregate-assembly modeling, and intermediate resolution modeling. Computational Methods for Protein Structure Prediction and Modeling, Volume 1, provides an essential reference and practical companion for a broad audience ranging from experts in bioinformatics to "consumers" of this information in proteomic research. Written without extensive demands on prior knowledge, this volume is also suitable for use in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses.

Contents:
