Abstract
The feasibility and utility of pairwise free energy terms in simple lattice proteins were assessed by a series of approximations. Approximating the true free energy with pairwise interactions gave a poor fit with little transferability between systems of different size. Addition of extra artificial terms yield better fits but it does not improve generalization from one system size to another. Also, it is difficult to distinguish folding from unfolding sequences via approximated free energies.
