Emergence of preferred structures in a simple model of protein folding.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Aug 1996

Li H, Helling R, Tang C, Wingreen N

Abstract excerpt

Protein structures in nature often exhibit a high degree of regularity (for example, secondary structure and tertiary symmetries) that is absent from random compact conformations. With the use of a simple lattice model of protein folding, it was demonstrated that structural regularities are related to high "designability" and evolutionary stability. The designability of each compact structure is measured by the...
