The results of an optimization of a folding potential are reported. The complete energy function is modeled as a sum of pairwise interactions with a flexible functional form. The relevant distance between two amino acids (2 - 9 A) is divided into 13 intervals, and the energy of each interval is optimized independently. We show, in accord with a previous publication (Tobi et al., Proteins 2000;4...
