An important note is that we are now using our energy function to choose which structure to follow for the next generation. This is more of a 'blind test' since we are pretending we do NOT know the native structure of the protein. Thus it is likely we will not see as low an RMSD as we did for the first betas. However, if the energy function works well (as we hope) we may get structure approaching as good as before. The only way we are still 'cheating' now is in choosing which of the generation 50 structures is best. But how we get to generation 50, unlike before, is now done completely without knowledge of the true structure. (Hope thats clear to everyone).
