Abstract
Scaling of folding properties of proteins is studied in a toy system—the lattice Go model with various two- and three-dimensional geometries of the maximally compact native states. Characteristic folding times grow as power laws with the system size. The corresponding exponents are not universal. Scaling of the thermodynamic stability also indicates size-related deterioration of the folding properties.Keywords
