While most textbooks on bioinformatics focus on genetic algorithms and treat
protein structure prediction only superficially, this course book assumes a
novel and unique focus. Adopting a didactic approach, the author explains all
the current methods in terms of their reliability, limitations and
user-friendliness. She provides practical examples to help first-time users
become familiar with the possibilities and pitfalls of computer-based structure
prediction, making this a must-have for students and researchers.
