Abstract
A numerical study of the energy landscape of the space of model proteinsequences is carried out. As a consequence of the heterogeneity of thecontact energies among amino acids, the energy landscape displays a veryrough profile, a behaviour typical of frustrated systems. This givesraise to a hierarchical clustering of low-energy sequences and can have evolutionary consequences.Keywords: energy landscapes; model protein; space of sequences
