X Abstract

In this article, we explore the information content of molecular force-field calculations. We make use of exhaustive lattice models of molecular conformations and reduced alphabet sequences to determine the relative resolving power of pairwise interaction-based force fields. We find that sequence-specific interactions that operate over longer distances offer greater amounts of information than nearest-neighbor or non-sequence-specific interactions. In a companion article in this issue, we explored the information content of sequence alignment procedures and the calculation of gap penalties. Both articles have implications for protein and nucleic-acid computations.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
