discrete-state unfolding simulations using theoretical models of
protein unfolding. By finding the models and parameters that best
reproduce the experimental data, we can find unforced unfolding rates

chemical unfolding experiments and used to validate more detailed
molecular dynamics simulations. The \sawsim\ simulations discussed
here are carried out after the unfolding experiments
