Exact Partition Function Zeros of The Wako-Saitô-Muñoz-Eaton Protein Model
Abstract
I compute exact partition function zeros of the Wako-Saitô-Muñoz-Eaton model for various secondary structural elements and for two proteins, 1BBL and 1I6C, by using both analytic and numerical methods. Two-state and barrierless downhill folding transitions can be distinguished by a gap in the distribution of zeros at the positive real axis.
