Protein Ground State Candidates in a Simple Model: An Exact Enumeration
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 The concept of the reduced set of contact maps is introduced. Using this concept we find the ground state candidates for Hydrophobic-Polar lattice model on a two dimensional square lattice. Using these results we exactly enumerate the native states of all proteins for a wide range of energy parameters. In this way, we show that there are some sequences, which have an absolute native state. Moreover, we study the scale-dependence of the number of the members of the reduced set, the number of ground state candidates, and the number of perfectly stable sequences by comparing the results for sequences with lengths of 6 up to 20.

Geometrically Reduced Number of Protein Ground State Candidates
Geometrical properties of protein ground states are studied using an algebraic approach. It is shown that independent from inter-monomer interactions, the collection of ground state candidates for any folded protein is unexpectedly small: For the case of a two-parameter Hydrophobic-Polar lattice model for L-mers, the number of these candidates grows only as L. Moreover, the space of the interac...
متن کاملHighly Designable Protein Structures and Inter Monomer Interactions
By exact computer enumeration and combinatorial methods, we have calculated the designability of proteins in a simple lattice H-P model for the protein folding problem. We show that if the strength of the non-additive part of the interaction potential becomes larger than a critical value, the degree of designability of structures will depend on the parameters of potential. We also show that the...
متن کاملExact Sequence Analysis for Three-Dimensional HP Lattice Proteins
We have exactly enumerated all sequences and conformations of HP proteins with chains of up to 19 monomers on the simple cubic lattice. For two variants of the hydrophobic-polar (HP) model, where only two types of monomers are distinguished, we determined and statistically analyzed designing sequences, i.e., sequences that have a non-degenerate ground state. Furthermore we were interested in ch...
متن کاملCombined effects of pressure, temperature, and magnetic field on the ground state of donor impurities in a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum heterostructure
In the present work, the exact diagonalization method had been implemented to calculate the ground state energy of shallow donor impurity located at finite distance along the growth axis in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure in the presence of a magnetic field taken to be along z direction. The impurity binding energy of the ground state had been calculated as a function of confining frequency and mag...

An investigation of the quantum J 1 − J 2 − J 3 model on the honeycomb lattice Abstract. We have investigated the quantum J1 − J2 − J3 model on the honeycomb lattice with exact diagonalizations and linear spin-wave calculations for selected values of J2/J1, J3/J1 and antiferromagnetic (J1 > 0) or ferromagnetic (J1 < 0) nearest neighbor interactions. We found a variety of quantum effects: " orde...
