Structure Optimization by an Improved Tabu Search in the AB Off-Lattice Protein Model
Tabu search is a meta-heuristic approach that is found to be useful in solving combinatorial optimization problems.This paper employs the adaptive memory features of tabu search to deal with protein folding problem.A kind of optimization of the neighborhood scale is presented,where a annealing mechanism is also used to enhance the searching ability for optimum solutions of the AB off-lattice model.This model has only two types of residues: hydrophobic(A)and hydrophilic(B).Based on the AB off-lattice model,the problem is converted from a nonlinear constraint-satisfied problem to an unconstrained optimization problem.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods are very promising for searching the ground states of protein folding in two dimensions.
