Global improvements of a protein alignment algorithm and comparison with a global optimization solver

Paulo Gouveia, Roberto Andreani, Ana Friedlander, J.M. Martínez, Leandro Martínez

The LovoAlign method for Protein Alignment, based on the Low-Order Value Optimization theory, is recalled. The method is modified in order to improve global convergence properties and compared against other global minimization procedures.

Keywords: Protein alignment; global optimization; structal score.
