We introduce a simplified protein model where the solvent~water! degrees of freedom appear explicitly ~although in an extremely simplified fashion!. Using this model we are able to recover the thermodynamic phenomenology of proteins over a wide range of temperatures.

Abstract

We introduce a simplified protein model where the solvent~water! degrees of freedom appear explicitly ~although in an extremely simplified fashion!. Using this model we are able to recover the thermodynamic phenomenology of proteins over a wide range of temperatures. In particular we describe both the warm and the cold protein denaturation within a single framework, while addressing important issues about the structure of model proteins.
