We examine a model evolutionary space consisting of genotypes mapped to their corresponding phenotypes. This mapping is derived from a lattice model for proteins which, despite its highly idealized nature, has been shown to share general properties with real proteins. Large evolutionary networks are
The folding ability of a heteropolymer model for proteins subject to Monte Carlo dynamics on a simple cubic lattice is shown to be strongly correlated with the stability of the native state. We consider a number of estimates of the stability that can be determined without simulation, including the e
