Misbehaving Protein May Provide Clue to Alzheimer's Drug
Bloomberg
Nuclear Imaging Tools Researchers used nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and computer modeling to see how proteins assemble themselves. Many of the intermediate states of folding last a millisecond or less, said Lewis Kay, a study author and a ...

Nucleic Acids Res. 2005;33(14):4593-601
Authors: Lin HN, Wu KP, Chang JM, Sung TY, Hsu WL
NMR data from different experiments often contain errors; thus, automated backbone resonance assignment is a very challenging issue. In this paper, we present a method called GANA that uses a genetic algorithm to automatically perform backbone resonance assignment with a high degree of precision and recall....
