Journal ArticleDOI
The energy landscapes and motions of proteins.
TL;DR: The concepts that emerge from studies of the conformational substates and the motions between them permit a quantitative discussion of one simple reaction, the binding of small ligands such as carbon monoxide to myoglobin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Funnels, pathways, and the energy landscape of protein folding: A synthesis
TL;DR: The work unifies several previously proposed ideas concerning the mechanism protein folding and delimits the regions of validity of these ideas under different thermodynamic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
THEORY OF PROTEIN FOLDING: The Energy Landscape Perspective
TL;DR: The energy landscape theory of protein folding suggests that the most realistic model of a protein is a minimally frustrated heteropolymer with a rugged funnel-like landscape biased toward the native structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin glasses and the statistical mechanics of protein folding
TL;DR: The theory of spin glasses was used to study a simple model of protein folding and the phase diagram was calculated, and the results of dynamics calculations are briefly reported.
Book
Dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of proteins, nucleic acids, and their solvent surroundings is discussed. And theoretical methods are used to model the dynamics of proteins and nucleic acid interactions.
