Quadratic unconstrained binary optimization and constraint programming approaches for lattice-based cyclic peptide docking by J. Kyle Brubaker, Kyle E. C. Booth, Akihiko Arakawa, Fabian Furrer, Jayeeta Ghosh, Tsutomu Sato, Helmut G. Katzgraber

“…In contrast, the CP approach can solve the largest instance in our test set, containing 11 peptide residues and 49 target protein residues (PDB 2F58). We conclude that while QUBO can be used to successfully tackle this problem, its scaling limitations and the strong performance of the CP method suggest that it may not be the best choice.…”
