Abstract
We have developed a simple, phenomenological, Monte-Carlo code that predict s the three-dimensional structure of globular proteins from the DNA sequenc es that define them. We have applied this code to two small proteins, the v illin headpiece (1VII) and cole1 rop (1ROP). Our code folds both proteins t o within 5 Angstrom rms of their native structures.
