Exact enumeration of conformations for two and three dimensional lattice proteins

We report an efficient methodology for exactly enumerating conformations of lattice proteins, taking into account the self-avoiding nature. These self-avoiding walks in square and simple cubic lattices take into account, the detailed paths by which a destination site can be reached from a starting site. The strategy employing Java programming enables the exact enumeration for very large lattice sizes. The estimation of these conformations is helpful in designing the protein sequences pertaining to Hydrophobic-Polar models.
