Statistics of Knots, Geometry of Conformations, and Evolution of Proteins * Rhonald C. Lua, Alexander Y. Grosberg Department of Physics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America Like shoelaces, the backbones of proteins may get entangled and form knots. However, only a few knots in native proteins have been identified so far. To more quantitatively assess the rarity of knots in proteins, we make an explicit comparison between the knotting probabilities in native proteins and in random compact loop
