We outline a general strategy for determining the effective coarse-grained interactions between the amino acids of a protein from the experimentally derived nativestate structures. The method is, in principle, free from any adjustable or empirically determined parameters, and it is tested on simple

## Abstract We present design details and first tests of a new evolutionary algorithm approach to __ab initio__ protein folding. It does not focus on dihedral angles exclusively, but mainly operates on introduction, extension, breakβup, and destruction of secondary structure elements, given as corr
Pairwise interaction models to recognize native folds are designed and analyzed. Different sets of parameters are considered but the focus was on 20 Ψ 20 contact matrices. Simultaneous solution of inequalities and minimization of the variance of the energy find matrices that recognize exactly the na
