Scientific paper
We demonstrate that the recently proposed pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method PERM (P.~Grassberger, Phys.~Rev.~{\bf E 56} (1997) 3682) leads to very efficient algorithms for the folding of simple model proteins. We test it on several models for lattice heteropolymers, and compare to published Monte Carlo studies of the properties of particular sequences. In all cases our method is faster than the previous ones, and in several cases we find new minimal energy states. In addition to producing more reliable candidates for ground states, our method gives detailed information about the thermal spectrum and, thus, allows to analyze static aspects of the folding behavior of arbitrary sequences.
