title: Monte Carlo simulation of diffusion of adsorbed proteins.
abstract: We present the results of three-dimensional lattice Monte Carlo simulations of protein diffusion on the liquid-solid interface in a wide temperature range including the most interesting temperatures (from slightly below T(f) and up to T(c), where T(f) and T(c) are the folding and collapse temperatures). For the model under consideration (27 monomers of two types), the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient is found to obey the Arrhenius law with the normal value (approximately 10(-2)-10(-3) cm(2)/s) of the preexponential factor.
