====FASTER====

The FASTER algorithm uses a combination of deterministic and stochastic criteria to optimize amino acid sequences. FASTER first uses DEE to eliminate rotamers that are not part of the optimal solution. Then, a series of iterative steps optimize the rotamer assignment.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Allen|first=BD|author2=Mayo, SL |title=Dramatic performance enhancements for the FASTER optimization algorithm.|journal=Journal of Computational Chemistry|date=July 30, 2006|volume=27|issue=10|pages=1071–5|pmid=16685715|doi=10.1002/jcc.20420|citeseerx=10.1.1.425.5418|s2cid=769053}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Desmet|first=J|author2=Spriet, J |author3=Lasters, I |title=Fast and accurate side-chain topology and energy refinement (FASTER) as a new method for protein structure optimization.|journal=Proteins|date=July 1, 2002|volume=48|issue=1|pages=31–43|pmid=12012335|doi=10.1002/prot.10131|s2cid=21524437}}</ref>
