Abstract:

Recently, contour Monte Carlo has been proposed by Liang (2004) as a general simulation and optimization algorithm. The algorithm was tested on real protein folding problems. The numerical results indicate that it outperforms simulated annealing, Metropolis Monte Carlo, and some other protein structure prediction approaches proposed in the literature.
