In respect to the variety of protein models to be refined, computational optimization procedures could be divided into localized (applied to a small part of a structure) and global (whole structure). Generally speaking, the first problem is usually tractable, and the latter remains to be extremely challenging for systems larger then peptides or small proteins: optimization complexity and difficulty dramatically increase with the size of structures to be optimized.}, issn = {17590876}, doi = {10.1002/wcms.1090}, url = {http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/wcms.1090}, author = {Dominik Gront and Sebastian Kmiecik and Maciej Blaszczyk and Dariusz Ekonomiuk and Andrzej Koli{\'n}ski} }
