Principle of Superposition in Protein-Folding
S. Nakamura, O. Narikiyo
We propose a principle of superposition to describe protein-folding nuclei and explain an evolutional conservation of a field pattern specifying native-state structure.

A Mean-Field Description of Protein Folding: Evolutional Conservation of Hydrophobicity Profile and Folding Nuclei
S. Nakamura, O. Narikiyo
Evolutionally conserved quantity that specifies folding nuclei is pursued by a case study for a small protein (PDB code: 1ten). First it is demonstrated that the sequences of amino…
