De Novo Peptide Structure Prediction: An Overview

Peptide structure identification is an important contribution to the further characterization of the residues involved in functional interactions. De novo structure peptide prediction has, in the past few years, made significant progresses that make reasonable, for peptides up to 50 amino acids, its use for the fast identification of their structural topologies. Here, we introduce some of the concepts underlying approaches of the field, together with their limits.
