Exactly Solvable Model of Protein Folding:. Rubik's Magic Snake Model
Abstract
I study the conceptual framework of protein folding considering an exactly solvable model — the Rubik's magic snake model. I discuss the mathematical representation of the model, the model Levinthal paradox, the non-unique compact folded structure, the function of the chain, the ground state energy, the commensurability between the folded structure and the potential sequence, the relationship between the unique ground state and broken symmetry in this model and the dual model and the inflation of the magic snake chain, respectively.
