Abstract

We consider whether or not protein chains in the HP model have unique or few optimal foldings. We solve the conjecture proposed by Aichholzer et al. that the open chain L2k-1 = (HP)k(PH)k-1 for k ?? 3 has exactly two optimal foldings on the square lattice. We show that some closed and open chains have unique optimal foldings on the hexagonal and triangular lattices, respectively.
