Abstract: | We study a model for the backbone of proteins on a square lattice which consists of the path traced out by a self-avoiding walk (SAW) on the lattice and bridges not belonging to sites on the SAW but connecting nearest neighbor sites of the SAW. We calculated the fractal dimensiond
w for random walk on this model and found thatd
w2.6, in disagreement with a recent suggestion thatd
w should be 2. |
