Abstract excerpt
Using a variational free energy functional, we calculate the characteristics of the transition state ensembles (TSE) for the folding of protein U1A and investigate how they respond to thermal and mutational changes. The functional directly yields predicted chevron plots both for the wild-type protein and for various mutants. The detailed variations of the TSE and changes in chevron plots predicted by the theory...
