Abstract excerpt
A model reproducing the experimental Boltzmann-like distribution of empty cavity sizes in proteins is introduced. Proteins are represented by lattices of different dimensionalities, corresponding to different numbers of nearest neighbor contacts. Small cavities emerge and join into larger ones in a random process that can be related to random mutations. Simulations of cavity creation are performed under the...
