Folding of Proteins in Go Models with Angular Interactions

Molecular dynamics studies of Go models of proteins with the 10-12 contact potential and the bond and dihedral angle terms indicate statistical similarities to other Go models, e.g. with the Lennard-Jones contact potentials. The folding times depend on the protein size as power laws with the exponents depending on the native structural classes. There is no dependence of the folding times on the relative contact order even though the folding scenarios are governed mostly by the contact order.
