A two-stage procedure for the determination of a united-residue potential designed for protein simulations is outlined. In the first stage, the long-range and local-interaction energy terms of the total energy of a polypeptide chain are determined by analyzing proteinαcrystal data and averaging the

β¦ Synopsis
Based on the dipole model of peptide groups developed in our w Ε½ .x earlier work Liwo et al., Prot. Sci., 2, 1697 1993 , a cumulant expansion of the average free energy of the system of freely rotating peptide-group dipoles tethered to a fixed β£-carbon trace is derived. A graphical approach is presented to find all nonvanishing terms in the cumulants. In particular, analytical Ε½ . expressions for three-and four-body correlation terms in the averaged interaction potential of united peptide groups are derived. These expressions are similar to the cooperative forces in hydrogen bonding introduced by Kolinski αΊ
