Protein Folding as an Autowave Process of Self-Organization in Active Media

Аннотация

Protein folding is considered as an autowave self-organization process in active media, where the homochirality of primary structures creates a distributed store of energy. A quantitative model description is presented for the already established folding pattern of stratified structure formation with a variable chirality sign in the hierarchies of L-amino acids, D-α-helices, and L-super-helices.
