Protein structure prediction is the process of determining the three-dimensional shape of a protein based on its amino acid sequence. Since proteins are essential biological molecules involved in countless cellular functions, understanding their structure is crucial for various applications in biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicine. Protein structure can be described at different levels: 1. **Primary Structure**: The linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
