| Abstract: | In a suitable environments, proteins, nucleic acids and certain synthetic polymers fold into unique conformations. This work shows that it is possible to construct lattice models of foldable heteropolymers by expressing the energy only in terms of individual properties of monomers, which model exposure to the solvent and the steric factor.
