Prediction of Protein Conformation with Potential Applications to Medical Diagnosis and Defence

Implantable biochips have the potential to be used in a wide range of applications such as medicine (for rapid diagnostics), surveillance (for detection and monitoring of environmental biological and chemical concentrations) and in defence and security (wearable intelligence for body condition monitoring). In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for use in these implantable biochips. This algorithm will be able to predict a protein´s new structural conformation, which will be of use in in-vivo monitoring and diagnosis of abnormal biological events. The algorithm could also be used for drug discovery and design, which will be of use in the defence and security field.
