UNDERSTANDING THE PROTEIN FOLDING PHENOMENA USING THE SIMPLE LATTICE MODEL OF PROTEIN AND THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF STATISTIC PHYSICS

원문정보

영어

The protein has become a major subject of research in the field of life sciences. However, it has recently leaped over the boundaries of structure biology and has become the topic of interest in many other fields including that of physics. Because the behavior of protein is affected tremendously by its surroundings, the approach in physics requires various calculations and predictions. In this paper, we have developed a lattice model to ease this problem and tried to analyze the protein thermodynamically using this model together with principles in statistical physics. The lattice model could successfully be applied to understand the major phenomena of protein which included the folding and unfolding process.
