Factors that Affect the Folding Ability of Proteins
Aaron R. Dinner, Victor Abkevich, Eugene Shakhnovich +1
The folding ability of a heteropolymer model for proteins subject to Monte Carlo dynamics on a simple cubic lattice is shown to be strongly correlated with the energy gap between t…

Theory of Kinetic Partitioning in Protein Folding (With Application to Prions)
V. I. Abkevich, A. M. Gutin, E. I. Shakhnovich
In this paper we study the phenomenon of kinetic partitioning when a polypeptide chain has two ground state conformations one of which is more kinetically reachable than the other.…

Cooperativity of Protein Folding and the Random-Field Ising Model
A. M. Gutin, V. I. Abkevich, E. I. Shakhnovich
The relation between cooperativity of protein folding and the Random-Field Ising Model (RFIM) is established. Generalization of the Imry-Ma argument predicts cooperative folding tr…
