An estimate of the numbers and density of low-energy structures (or decoys) in the conformational landscape of proteins.
The conformational energy landscape of a protein, as calculated by known potential energy functions, has several minima, and one of these corresponds to its native structure. It is however difficult to comprehensively estimate the actual numbers of low energy structures (or decoys), the relationship...
