Abstract
We propose two approaches for determining the native basins in off-lattice models of proteins. The first of them is based on exploring the saddle points on selected trajectories emerging from the native state. In the second approach, the basin size can be determined by monitoring random distortions in the shape of the protein around the native state. Both techniques yield the similar results. As a byproduct, a simple method to determine the folding temperature is obtained.
