What can we learn about protein folding from Ising-like models?

Abstract excerpt

Ising-like models have been remarkably successful in reproducing all the experimental data available on the equilibrium and kinetics of secondary structure formation in short peptides. Over the past two years, very similar models have been used to predict the folding of complete proteins, with encouraging results. Although Ising-like models are probably too simple to describe all aspects of protein folding, the...
