Molecular dynamics studies of Go models of proteins with the 10–12 contact potential and the bond and dihedral angle terms indicate statistical similarities to other Go models, e.g., with the Lennard–Jones contact potentials. The folding times depend on the protein size as power laws with...

Mechanical unfolding of several domains of calmodulin and titin is studied using a Go-like model with a realistic contact map and Lennard–Jones contact interactions. It is shown that this simple model captures the experimentally observed difference between the two proteins: titin is a spring...
