Abstract

To improve protein folding simulations, artificial immune system (AIS) was investigated on a 2D lattice model. AIS is a novel intelligent problem solving technique inspired from vertebrate immune system. Compared with stand genetic algorithm (SGA), AIS contains four new operators such as cloning selection, inverse mutation, pair wise interchange mutation, and receptor editing. In the experiments, we compared AIS with the immune genetic algorithm (IGA) for 4 chains of different lengths of 20, 36, 48, and 64. The results show that AIS has a higher success rate but costs more time.
