From page 5...
... Predicting the folded structure of a protein from the amino acid sequence remains an extremely challenging problem in mathematical optimization. The challenge is created by the combinatorial explosion of plausible shapes, each of which represents a local minimum of a complicated nonconvex function of which the global minimum is sought.
