A Constraint Solver for Flexible Protein Models

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, …

Protein Structure Analysis with Constraint Programming.

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. …

Exploring Protein Fragment Assembly Using CLP

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 …

Introducing FIASCO: Fragment-based Interactive Assembly for protein Structure prediction with COnstraints

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 …
