In computational biology , de novo proteinstructure prediction is the task of estimating a protein s tertiary structure from its primary structure sequence alone. The problem is very difficult and has occupied leading scientists for decades. Research has focused in three areas alternate lower resolution representations of proteins, accurate energy functions, and efficient sampling methods. At present, the most successful methods have a reasonable probability of predicting the fold of a small protein domain within 5 angstrom s. Citation needed date November 2008 ref name pande 2002 De novo proteinstructure prediction methods attempt to predict tertiary structures from sequences based on general principles that govern protein folding energetics and or statistical tendencies of conformational features that native structures acquire, without the use of explicit protein threading templates .
