An efficient deformation-based global optimization method for off-lattice polymer chains: self-consistent basin-to-deformed-basin mapping (SCBDBM). Application to united-residue polypeptide chains
Article Abstract:
A method for surmounting a protein folding problem involving the multiple-minima was proposed. The location of a group of large basins containing low-energy minima in the original energy surface was the underlying principle of the method. This was achieved by coupling the superbasins in the original surface to basins in a highly deformed energy surface. To carry out the deformation, the distance scaling method and the diffusion equation method were implemented.
