The effects of non-native interactions on protein folding rates: Theory and simulation
C. Clementi, S. S. Plotkin
Proteins are minimally frustrated polymers. However, for realistic protein models non-native interactions must be taken into account. In this paper we analyze the effect of non-nat…

Speeding protein folding beyond the Go model: How a little frustration sometimes helps
Steven S. Plotkin
Perturbing a Go model towards a realistic protein Hamiltonian by adding non-native interactions, we find that the folding rate is in general enhanced as ruggedness is initially inc…

Structural and Energetic Heterogeneity in Protein Folding
Steven S. Plotkin, Jose N. Onuchic
A general theoretical framework is developed using free energy functional methods to understand the effects of heterogeneity in the folding of a well-designed protein. Native energ…
