β¦ Synopsis
We describe features of our methodology for predicting tertiary suuctures (i.e., conformations) of proteins in solvent just fi'om the amino-acid sequences and molecular models for the solvent. The methodology, which is a combination of the Monte Carlo simulated annealing technique and the reference interaction site model theory, is illustr~ed for the small peptides, Met-enkephalin and Cpeptide. Important roles played by water are discussed, and the alcohol effects on peptide conformations are newly analyzed.

The conformational equilibria of five P-cellobiose conformers have been studied theoretically in 10 solvents. The stability of the conformers in dilute solution has been compared by using the method that has already been tested for X-methoxytetrahydropyran, p-maltose, and Bglucose. The solvation ene
