2 Figure 1 Folding of a 27-bead heteropolymer on a cubic lattice at low temperature. (a) The average effective energy, E, as a function of Q, the fraction of native contacts; there are 28 in the native state, which is a 3 × 3 × 3 cube. (b) The average effective free energy, F, as a function of Q. Results adapted from Figure 4 of [42] at T = 0.7. Details of the definition and methods are given in [42].

3 Figure 2 Folding of a 27-bead heteropolymer on a cubic lattice at high temperature. (a, b) See Figure 1 for explanation. The sharp peak in (b) near 0.9 appears to be an artefact of the lattice simulation. The same sequence as in Figure 1 was used except that the native state was stabilized by offsetting the energies of all 28 native contacts by a random number from a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 0.0–0.8 kBT and a standard deviation of 0.1 kBT; T = 2.
