Indeed, the area of protein folding, docking and alignment is developing in response to needs for a mix of heterogeneous expertise spanning biology, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and statistics, among others. Some of the problems encountered in this area are not only important for the scienti?c challenges they pose, but also for the opportunities they disclose intermsofmedicalandindustrialexploitation. Atypicalexampleiso?eredby protein-drug interaction (docking), a problem posing daunting computational problems at the crossroads of geometry, physics and chemistry, and, at the same time, a problem with unimaginable implications for the pharmacopoeia of the future. The schoolfocused on problems posed by the study of the mechanisms - hind protein folding, and explored di?erent ways of attacking these problems under objective evaluations of the methods. Together with a relatively small core of consolidated knowledge and tools, important re?ections were brought to this e?ort by studies in a multitude of directions and approaches. It is obviously impossible to predict which, if any, among these techniques will prove completely successful, but it is precisely the implicit dialectic among them that best conveys the current ?avor of the ?eld. Such unique diversity and richness inspired the format of the meeting, and also explains the slight departure of the present volume from the typical format in this series: the exposition of the current sediment is complemented here by a selection of quali?ed specialized contributions.Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics ;2666MathematicsAlgorithmsComputer science—MathematicsDatabase managementComputer graphicsOptical data processingMathematics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M00009Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021Discrete Mathematics in Computer Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17028Database Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18024Computer Graphicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22013Image Processing and Computer Visionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22021Mathematics.Algorithms.Computer science—Mathematics.Database management.Computer graphics.Optical data processing.Mathematics, general.Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity.Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science.Database Management.Computer Graphics.Image Processing and Computer Vision.572/.633/015118Guerra Concettinaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtIstrail Sorinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143872903321Mathematical methods for protein structure analysis and design955129UNINA
