Abstract

We offer simple solutions to three kinematic problems that occur in the folding of proteins. We show how to construct suitably local elementary Monte Carlo moves, how to close a loop, and how to fold a loop without breaking the bond that closes it. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The most surprising feature of proteins, which distinguishes them from all other types of large polymeric molecules and provides them with a broad range of special properties, is their unique structural order. The position of each atom in these macromolecules is unique relative to its neighboring at
