Cyclic peptides fulfil a diversity of biologically important functions by acting as hormones, toxins, antiobiotics, ion carriers, inhibitors etc. and in vivo activity is intimately related to their molecular conformations.

## Abstract Based on the assumption that the conformational energy surface of a protein molecule can be approximated near the global minimum point by a multidimensional parabola, conformational fluctuations in the native state are discussed. In this approximation the conformational fluctuations can
## Abstract We describe a new computer algorithm for finding lowβenergy conformations of proteins. It is a chainβgrowth method that uses a heuristic bias function to help assemble a hydrophobic core. We call it the Coreβdirected chain Growth method (CG). We test the CG method on several wellβknown
