Simple Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Protein Folding Model Feature Summary

Type:
Featured Simulation
Title:
Simple Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Protein Folding Model
Description:
The Simple Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Protein Folding Model implements a 2-Dimensional hydrophobic/hydrophilic (HP) folding protein  to test the energetics of protein folding, the change in size of a protein relative to energy, and the computation time for complex protein problems. A Metropolis Monte-Carlo algorithm is used to determine if randomly guided movements are carried out by monomers (non-specific amino acids) within the polymer (protein tertiary structure).
