A Minimal Model for the Hydrophobic and Hydrogen Bonding Effects on Secondary and Tertiary Structure Formation in Proteins

A refinement of a minimal model for protein folding originally proposed by Imamura is presented. The representation of the alpha-helix has been improved by adding in explicit modelling of the entire peptide unit. A four-helix bundle consisting of four alpha-helices and three loop regions is generate...
