Abstract

Description

We test the effectiveness of the multicanonical algorithm for the tertiary structure prediction of peptides and proteins. As a simple example we study Met-enkephalin. The lowest-energy conformation obtained agrees with that determined by other methods such as Monte Carlo simulated annealing. But unlike to simulated annealing the relationship to the canonical ensemble remains exactly controlled. Thermodynamic quantities at various temperature can be calculated from one run.
