Accurate knowledge of protein structures is important for predicting protein function, and structure-based drug design for therapeutics. The gap between the number of experimentally determined structures and the number of known sequences continues to increase at a rapid rate. Hence, there is an urgent need for accurate and computationally efficient methods for protein structure prediction.
