Potential energy functions for threading.
Despite little progress in ab initio solutions to the problem of predicting a protein's tertiary structure, over the past four years or so the development of fold-recognition methods for tertiary structure prediction has been the source of some encouragement in this difficult field. Despite promising initial results, these methods are clearly not yet fully mature and many groups are now working on different aspects of the methods involved in the hope of increasing the reliability and sensitivity of these tools.
