title: Knowledge-based potentials for proteins.
abstract: Knowledge based potentials and energy functions are extracted from a number of databases of known protein structures. Recent developments have shown that this type of potential is successful in many areas of protein structure research. Among these are quality assessment and error recognition of folds and the prediction of unknown structures by fold-recognition techniques.
