A New Monte Carlo Algorithm for Protein Folding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate that the recently introduced pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM) leads to extremely efficient algorithms for the folding of simple model proteins. We test them on several models for lattice heteropolymers, and compare to published Monte Carlo studies. In all cases our algorithms are faster than previous ones, and in several cases we find new minimal energy states. In addition, our algorithms give estimates for the partition sum at finite temperatures.

متن کاملEvolutionary Monte Carlo for protein folding simulations
We demonstrate that evolutionary Monte Carlo ~EMC! can be applied successfully to simulations of protein folding on simple lattice models, and to finding the ground state of a protein. In all cases, EMC is faster than the genetic algorithm and the conventional Metropolis Monte Carlo, and in several cases it finds new lower energy states. We also propose one method for the use of secondary struc...

Given the substitution process of generators using renewable energy sources instead of conventional generators in modern power systems, this paper proposes a Monte Carlo based method to determine an optimal level of this change. At first, LOLE index of the system was calculated without wind power to obtain the reference index. Then, the wind turbine units are replaced with the conventional gene...
