| Research Abstract |
We analyze the structural stabilities of proteins in aqueous and nonpolar environments, thus revealing their differences. Free-energy functions are constructed for these proteins on the basis of liquid-state theories and their usefulness is demonstrated. After generating a number of candidate structures using typical bioinformatics techniques, we select the structure giving the free-energy function for a protein in aqueous environment: Promising results are obtained for several proteins tested.
