## Abstract Monte Carlo (MC) methods play an important role in simulations of protein folding. These methods rely on a random sampling of moves on a potential energy surface. To improve the efficiency of the sampling, we propose a new selection of trial moves based on an empirical distribution of t

We describe an algorithm to compute native structures of proteins from their primary sequences. The novel aspects of this method are: 1) The hydrophobic potential was set to be proportional to the nonpolar solvent accessible surface. To make computation feasible, we developed a new algorithm to comp
We propose a coarse-grained model of proteins that take into account solvent effects and apply it for simulating folding of a three-helixbundle protein. The energy functional form, refined from our previous work (Takada et al., J Chem Phys 1999;110:11616 -11629), tries to closely imitate real physic
We have performed 128 folding and 45 unfolding molecular dynamics runs of chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) with an implicit solvation model for a total simulation time of 0.4 microseconds. Folding requires that the three-dimensional structure of the native state is known. It was simulated at 300 K by
Ab-initio folding simulations have been performed on three small proteins using a genetic algorithm-(GA-) based search method which operates on an all atom representation. Simulations were also performed on a number of small peptides expected to be independent folding units. The present genetic algo
## Abstract We present a flexible and efficient program package written in C++, PROFASI, for simulating protein folding and aggregation. The systems are modeled using an all‐atom description of the protein chains with only torsional degrees of freedom, and implicit water. The program package has a
