Monte Carlo simulation of myoglobin primary to helical structure.
A Monte Carlo simulation is presented of the formation of the individual helices of myoglobin from their primary to their helical structures. A simplified model in which each amino acid residue is replaced by a single interaction center is used. The small helices formed are in good agreement with experiment, while the larger helices are moderately well reproduced.
