In protein structure prediction, it is often the case that a protein segment must be adjusted to
connect two fixed segments. This occurs during loop structure prediction in homology …

Unlike the secondary structure elements that connect in protein structures, loop fragments in
protein chains are often highly mobile even in generally stable proteins. The structural …

Closed kinematic chains in mechanical systems represent a challenge for their motion
analysis, and therefore, for path planning. Closed mechanisms appear in different areas …

In this paper, we present a framework for studying folding problems from a motion-planning
perspective. The version of the motion-planning problem we consider is that of determining …

Assembling fragments from known protein structures is a widely used approach to construct
structural models for new proteins. We describe an application of this idea to an important …

Dimensionality reduction approaches have been used to exploit the redundancy in a
Cartesian coordinate representation of molecular motion by producing low-dimensional …

Characterizing protein flexibility is an important goal for understanding the physical–
chemical principles governing biological function. This paper presents a Fragment …

Rapid protein-structure determination relies greatly on software that can automatically build
a protein model into an experimental electron-density map. In favorable circumstances …

In this paper, a stable and accurate algorithm to compute all solutions of the inverse
kinematics problem of a 6 revolute manipulator chain is presented. A system of equations is …

More than fifty years of research in molecular biology have demonstrated that the ability of
small and large molecules to interact with one another and propagate the cellular processes …
