Báo cáo khoa học: Worth the effort An account of the Seventh Meeting of the Worldwide Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction
A chilly, but still very attractive, Asilomar hosted the
seventh edition of the Critical Assessment of Protein
Structure Prediction Experiment (CASP) [1].
A few months ago, 96 protein sequences of
unknown, but soon to be determined structure, were
distributed to more than 250 groups, whose task was
to predict their structure and a number of other fea-tures, such as their domain boundaries, the presence of
disordered regions, contacts between specific amino
acids and their molecular function.
