It is hard to construct theories for the folding of globular proteins because they are large and complicated molecules having enormous numbers of nonnative conformations and having native states that are complicated to describe. Statistical mechanical theories of protein folding are constructed arou

โฆ Synopsis
Mutagenesis makes it possible to examine the effect of amino acid replacements on the folding and stability of proteins. The evaluation of kinetic and equilibrium folding data using reaction coordinate diagrams allows one to determine the roles that single amino acids play in the folding mechanism.

We present an analysis of the blind predictions submitted to the fold recognition category for the second meeting on the Critical Assessment of techniques for protein Structure Prediction. Our method achieves fold recognition from predicted secondary structure sequences using hidden Markov models (H

## Abstract We have initiated an entirely new approach to statistical mechanical models of strongly interacting systems where the configurational parameters and the potential energy function are both constructed so that the canonical partition function can be evaluated analytically. For a simplifie
## Abstract This is our second type of model for protein folding where the configurational parameters and the effective potential energy function are chosen in such a way that all conformations are described and the canonical partition function can be evaluated analytically. Structure is described
