Abstract: | The topology of the potential energy landscape (PEL) underlying the dynamics of a two dimensional off-lattice model for a heteropolymer is analyzed for different sequences of amino-acids. A statistical characterization of the metastable minima and first-order saddles of the PEL highlights structural differences in the landscape of good and bad folding sequences and provides insight on the chain dynamics during folding. |
