Folding proteins with a fractal

Yesterday I posted about the fractal algorithm adapted to function optimising, the test I showed was nice, but dealing with a 2D function is not so great if you plan to go big.

After that Guillem forgot to go home and stayed coding a little more at the office. This morning the algorithm was able to load test proteins and try to fold them by minimising the Lennard-Jones potential of the cluster. He sleept in the sofa!

Here you see it folding a 5 atoms "protein":
