WIZARD: AI in conformational analysis
Abstract
A program which utilizes the techniques of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems to solve problems in the area of Conformational Analysis is described. The program searches conformational space in a systematic fashion, based on the technique known as heuristic state-space search. The program proceeds by recognizing conformational units, assigning one or more conformational templates to each unit, and joining them to form conformational suggestions. These suggestions are criticized to discover logical inconsistencies, and any resulting stresses are resolved. The resulting conformational suggestions are sometimes accurate enough for immediate use, or may be further refined by a numerical program. The latter combination is shown to be quite efficient compared to purely numerical conformational search techniques.
