| Abstract: | A model for the simulation of proteins is introduced which is based on a new set of bond vectors and a new method for modeling the side chains of proteins. The drawbacks of united atoms models are summarized and the motivation for this new model is given. Some preliminary results are shown which shall demonstrate the suitability of the model proposed. |
