Study on Properties of Protein Folding Conformation Network

Protein folding conformations take the form of networks, sets of conformations (vertices) joined together in pairs by links or edges. Protein folding conformation network is a complex network, and has scale-free property that many networks have in common. Understanding the scale-free property in the network of protein folding conformation, one can find the better conformation of protein folding which closes to nature. This paper constructs a complex network of protein folding conformation and analyzes its small world and scale-free properties in the network of protein folding conformation in order to study evolving process of protein structure and predict protein structure.
