Statistical mechanics of simple models of protein folding and design.
It is now believed that the primary equilibrium aspects of simple models of protein folding are understood theoretically. However, current theories often resort to rather heavy mathematics to overcome some technical difficulties inherent in the problem or start from a phenomenological model. To this end, we take a new approach in this pedagogical review of the statistical mechanics of protein f...
متن کاملSimple Models of Protein Folding
Lattice models with simplified interaction potentials have been used to analyze the ability of certain amino acid sequences to adopt a unique configuration in space [1, 2, 3]. Furthermore, phenomenological models have been used to predict protein folding kinetics amongst a subset of energetically favorable states [4, 5]. In the following, I will specifically discuss both the use of two dimensio...

متن کاملStatistical Mechanics Model for Protein Folding
We present a novel statistical mechanics formalism for the theoretical description of the process of protein folding↔unfolding transition in water environment. The formalism is based on the construction of the partition function of a protein obeying two-stage-like folding kinetics. Using the statistical mechanics model of solvation of hydrophobic hydrocarbons we obtain the partition function of...
متن کاملSpin glasses and the statistical mechanics of protein folding.
The theory of spin glasses was used to study a simple model of protein folding. The phase diagram of the model was calculated, and the results of dynamics calculations are briefly reported. The relation of these results to folding experiments, the relation of these hypotheses to previous protein folding theories, and the implication of these hypotheses for protein folding prediction schemes are...
