Protein Folding — Gō Model Energy Landscape

Funnel energy landscape + chain folding simulation via Langevin dynamics

Temperature kT kT = 0.8

Chain Length N N = 14

Friction γ γ = 0.8

Gō model: beads connected by bonds, with attractive contacts only for residue pairs in the native structure. The funnel landscape (right) shows energy vs RMSD from native. Langevin dynamics at temperature kT. Color: blue=unfolded, orange=partially folded, red=native state.
