✦ Synopsis

An important area of research in computational biochemistry is .the design of molecules for specific applications. The design of these molecules, which depends on the accurate determination of their three-dimensional structure, can be formulated as a global optimization problem. In this article, we present results from the application of a new conformation searching method based on direct search methods. We compare these results to some earlier results using genetic algorithms and simulated annealing.
