Each substituent amino acid, contributes to the unique sequence of the polymer, and each affects, in some small way, the number of different states that the polymer could be found in, at any given moment. Given the constraints imposed by the length and geometry of the chemical bonds, there are some states the polymer cannot adopt, but there are many, many states that are potentially available, and each has a unique energy. Over time you can plot these energies yielding a distribution. | |
