Protein molecules often undergo conformational changes. In order to gain insights into the forces that drive such changes, it would be useful to have a method that computes the per-residue contributions to the conversion free energy. Here, we describe the "confine-convert-release" (CCR) method, which is applicable to large conformational changes. We show that CCR correctly predicts the stable states of several "chameleon" sequences that have previously been challenging for molecular simulations. ...[more]
