Universal geometrical factor of protein conformations as a consequence of energy minimization
Universal geometrical factor of protein conformations as a consequence of energy minimization
The biological activity and functional specificity of proteins depend on their native three-dimensional structures determined by inter- and intra-molecular interactions. In this paper, we investigate the geometrical factor of protein conformation as a consequence of energy minimization in protein folding. Folding simulations of 10 polypeptides with chain length ranging from …
