Abstract excerpt
Natural polypeptide chain usually can spontaneously fold into tightly compact native structure. This capability is the so-called foldability. However, how the foldability is encoded in the polypeptide chain is still poorly understood. The structure of insulin has been well solved and extensively investigated. Therefore, insulin provides a good model for investigating the role of individual residue to the sequence...
