Fitting protein chains to cubic lattice is NP-complete
Abstract
It is known that folding a protein chain into a cubic lattice is an NP-complete problem. We consider a seemingly easier problem: given a three-dimensional (3D) fold of a protein chain (coordinates of its C(alpha) atoms), we want to find the closest lattice approximation of this fold. This problem has been studied under names such as "lattice approximation of a protein chain", "the protein chain fitting problem", and "building of protein lattice models". We show that this problem is NP-complete for the cubic lattice with side close to 3.8 A and coordinate root mean square deviation.
