To further test the capabilities of the DeepWEST method for a higher dimensional problem, we chose the N-terminal domain of ribosomal protein L9 (NTL9) system. The NTL9 protein is a 627-atom system consisting of 39 amino acid residues (Figure ) which has a folding time of ≈ 1.5 ms. 100 Initial coordinates for the unfolded NTL9 protein was obtained from .
