摘要
Originally, the ant system was developed for optimization in discrete search spaces such as the traveling salesman problem. We detail our adaptation of the algorithm to optimization in the continuous search space of conformational analysis. The parameters of the algorithm were tuned using a simple test molecule, undecane, and a drug molecule, imatinib. The algorithm is further tested on four more drug or drug-like molecules, on vitamin A and on alanine tetrapeptide. (C) 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
