    Abstract

    A collection of local protein folding rules for the Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model on triangular lattice, in both two and three dimensions, has been developed. Approximation ratios for each of these rules are examined. It is shown that for all the rules, these ratios are better than those achieved by Hart and Istrail for the square lattice. All the folding rules are implementable in linear time.
