X Abstract

We report on the design and the implementation of ESCAPE 2.0, the parallel exhaustive conformational search system for peptides. We employed an exhaustive search method for conformational searches, so that ESCAPE 2.0 does not overlook any important conformations that may be overlooked by other systems. Although the previous version of ESCAPE can analyze short peptide segments, we added new functions in order to analyze larger problems. Tree Search Rotamer Libraries reduce the size of the search space, and the Variable Ring Conformation Libraries enable one to analyze compounds that have rings of variable shapes. For analyses with distance constraints on the relative positions of atoms, ESCAPE 2.0 successfully reduced the size of the search tree, and analyzed a peptide of 5 amino acid length within several seconds. For analyses without distance constraints, a parallel version of ESCAPE 2.0 showed good speedups over the sequential version

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
