We explicitly show the connection between the protein folding problem and spin glass transition. This is then used to identify appropriate quantities that are required to describe the transition. A possible way of observing the spin glass transition is proposed.

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
## 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
