Résumé : Proteins have a unique native conformation, which can be proven in many instances to be determined by the amino acid sequence alone. The folding problem, that is the understanding of how the amino acid sequence directs folding, is still unsolved, despite more than 30 years of effort. However, many new methods have appeared in the past few years. This chapter describes the different principles underlying them and tries to give an overview of their successes and pitfalls. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
