An algorithm to generate low-resolution protein tertiary structures from knowledge of secondary structure.
An algorithm is described to assemble the three-dimensional fold of a protein starting from its secondary structure. A reduced representation of the polypeptide chain is used together with a crude potential based on pair hydrophobicities. The method is shown to be successful in locating the native topology for two 4-alpha-helix bundles, myohemerythrin and cytochrome b-562.
