Abstract
The present work reports a new model for studying conformational transitions in proteins using C-alpha structure based models. A dual basin potential has been constructed for modeling angles and dihedral. A previously known dual basin Gaussian model has been used for modeling contacts. The simulations clearly show transitions between two native folds of the protein. However, considerable scope of improvement exists within the current model. The second part of this work is on Density Functional Theoretical calculations to study adsorption of strong ligand on transition metal clusters.
