# This file defines a 4-helix bundle coarse-grained protein model (AUF2) used in
# G. Bellesia, AI Jewett, and J-E Shea,
# Protein Science, Vol19 141-154 (2010)
#
# Strategy:
#
#1) First I'll define some building blocks (A16, B16, T3)
# which are helices, sheets and turns of a predetermined length)
#
#2) Then I'll copy and paste them together to build
# a 4-helix bundle (or a 4-strand beta-barrel).
# This approach is optional. If your protein has helices which are not
# identical, you should probably just include all 4 helices in a single
# "Data Atoms" section and don't try to subdivide the protein into pieces.)

# --- Energy & Temperature Units ---
# In this protein model, "epsilon" represents the free energy
# bonus for bringing two hydrophobic amino acids together.
# Here I choose to set epsilon to 1.806551818181818 kCal/mole.
# This value was chosen so that a temperature of 300 Kelvin lies at
# 0.33 epsilon, which is the unfolding temperature of the marginally stable
# "ASF1" protein model from the Bellesia et al 2010 paper.
# This choice insures that both the "ASF1" model from that paper,
# as well as the much more stable "AUF2" protein we use here (which
# unfolds at 0.42*eps) should definitely remain stable at 300 degrees Kelvin,
# in the bulk at least. (However it's not clear that these energy
# parameters will work well for a protein in membrane. Perhaps I'll
# run some tests and fine tune these parameters for this scenario.)
