## Abstract The failure to appreciate that the hydration of polar groups is a major contribution to the entropy of protein unfolding has led to considerable underestimates for the loss of configurational freedom when a protein chain folds.

A new method for the homologybased modeling of protein three-dimensional structures is proposed and evaluated. The alignment of a query sequence to a structural template produced by threading algorithms usually produces lowresolution molecular models. The proposed method attempts to improve these mo
The average contribution of conformational entropy for individual amino acid residues towards the free energy of protein folding is not well understood. We have developed empirical scales for the loss of the main-chain (torsion angles, and ) conformational entropy by taking its side-chain into accou
