<p>The subject invention provides a method for determining the most stable tertiary structure of a protein having a known primary structure which comprises the steps of (a) producing a reduced representation of the protein by assigning to the protein (i) all secondary structural motifs present therein and (ii) all Ζ and ζ dihedral angles for the amino acid residues present therein; (b) determining which conformations of the reduced representation are physically permissible, so as to determine which conformations of the protein are physically permissible; and (c) determining which of the physically permissible conformations of the protein possesses the lowest free energy, so as to thereby determine the most stable tertiary structure of the protein.</p> |
