Stereochemical errors and their implications for molecular dynamics simulations.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Phenotype prediction problems are usually considered ill-posed, as the amount of samples is very limited with respect to the scrutinized genetic probes. This fact complicates the sampling of the defective genetic pathways due to the high number of possible discriminatory genetic networks involved. In this re...
