title: Interaction potentials for protein folding.
abstract: We outline a general strategy for determining the effective coarse-grained interactions between the amino acids of a protein from the experimentally derived native-state structures. The method is, in principle, free from any adjustable or empirically determined parameters, and it is tested on simple models and compared with other existing approaches.
