Abstract :
It is a difficult problem of studying the protein folding process in the protein research field. In this paper, a new simulation algorithm-snake simulation algorithm is put forward to solve the problem. In order to prove the key function in snake simulation algorithm is correct and feasible, theory of molecule oscillation and molecule kinetics are used. In addition, bring forward a model that describes the process of protein folding, concludes that all the protein structure can be constructed by two type functions. Compared with other five protein folding algorithms, the snake simulation algorithm has a great advantage in the energy and similar of protein structure.
