Abstract
- We define the free energy function using an all-atom molecular model including solvent water.
- The free energy change upon protein folding in water is examined.
- Hydration energy and protein-intramolecular energy are complementary to each other.
- Hydration entropy becomes a major driving factor for protein folding.
