Constraint Programming; Bioinformatics; Protein structure prediction

This paper proposes the formalization and implementation of a novel class of constraints aimed at modeling problems related to placement of multi-body systems in the 3-dimensional space. Each multi-body is a system composed of body elements, …

In this chapter, we present a review of various approaches to modeling protein structure by means of constraint programming. This particular programming framework has been used in the modeling of the structure and properties of chemical compounds. …

The paper investigates a novel approach, based on Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), to predict potential 3D conformations of a protein via fragments assembly. The fragments are extracted and clustered by a preprocessor from a database of known …

The paper summarizes the recent developments in the cre- ation of a constraint-based framework for the analysis of protein confor- mations. The framework is designed to be used by computational and life scientists to provide new insights in the …
