## Abstract β‐Site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is a membrane‐bound protease that is essential for the production of β‐amyloid protein (Aβ). Given the crucial role of Aβ accumulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), inhibition of BACE1 activity may represent a feasible ther
We describe an improved algorithm for protein structure prediction, assuming that the location of secondary structural elements is known, with particular focus on prediction for proteins containing -strands. Hydrogen bonding terms are incorporated into the potential function, supplementing our prev
