Which risk increases when simulating protein folding using simplified energy functions?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect local minima are more likely because, with lower resolution/simplified potential energy surface, the energy landscape is more coarse. Sampling gets trapped in the incorrect local minima, thereby distorting accurate protein structures rather than sampling the optimal conformation.
