A Novel Framework for Ab Initio Coarse Protein Structure Prediction

Algorithm 2

The pseudocode for evolutionary programming.

Input: HP_sequence, Population_size N

Output: best protein conformation

(1) Initialize the generation counter, ;

(2) Create initial Population, is set of N confor-

mation;

(3) for  each individual,   do //individual is

protein conformation

(4) Evaluate the fitness, ;

(5)end

(6)while termination condition(s) not true do

(7) for each individual,   do

(8)Create an offspring //by applying the

mutation operator;

(9) Evaluate the fitness, ;

(10) Add to the set of offspring, ;

(11)end

(12)Select the new population, , from

, by applying a selection operator;
