Recent studies of the relationship between protein sequence and protein structure are reviewed. A detailed discussion of past attempts to predict the structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence, the protein folding problem, is presented and the strengths and weaknesses of these methods are examined. The root-mean-square deviation is studied and a benchmark for structural comparisons is established. A combinatorial approach to the protein folding problem is outlined and its advantages over existing methods is discussed. Specific algorithms based on the combinatorial approach are developed and applied to a variety of proteins. The success of this approach in terms of the root-mean-square deviation benchmark as well as the drawbacks of this method are presented. |
