From page 265...
... If the hierarchical approach to protein structure prediction is to succeed, secondary structure prediction must improve (to at least the 80 percent accuracy level) , the combinatorial methods must be further refined, and the radius of convergence of existing potential functions must be extended to allow optimization of the final structure (Wilson and Doniach, 1989, Sipp1, 1990; Troyer and Cohen, 1991~.
