| Research Abstract |
In studying protein folding mechanism from analytical point of view, we introduce a model based on a Gaussian filament with an attractive force between a pair of residues forming a contact in the folded state and a repulsive force between any pairs of residues. By using this model, we estimate effects of the geometrical factors caused by a specific interaction based on a native structure and a non-specific interaction upon the folding mechanism.
