Chaos of Protein Folding
As protein folding is a NP-complete problem, artificial intelligence tools like neural networks and genetic algorithms are used to attempt to predict the 3D shape of an amino acids sequence. Underlying these attempts, it is supposed that this folding process is predictable. However, to the best of our knowledge, this important assumption has been neither proven, nor studied. In this paper the topological dynamic of protein folding is evaluated. It is mathematically established that protein folding in 2D hydrophobic-hydrophilic (HP) square lattice model is chaotic as defined by Devaney. Consequences for both structure prediction and biology are then outlined.

Three dimensional chaos game representation of protein sequences
A new three dimensional approach to the chaos game representation of protein sequences is explored in this thesis. The basics of DNA, the synthesis of proteins from DNA, protein structure and functionality and sequence a…
The impact of hydrodynamic interactions on protein folding rates depends on temperature
We investigated the impact of hydrodynamic interactions (HI) on protein folding using a coarse-grained model. The extent of the impact of hydrodynamic interactions, whether it accelerates, retards, or has no effect on pr…
FrictionProtein FoldingEffect of protein structure on evolution of cotranslational folding
Cotranslational folding depends on the folding speed and stability of the nascent protein. It remains difficult, however, to predict which proteins cotranslationally fold. Here, we simulate evolution of model proteins to…
