To elucidate the connection between the CSN topology and the underlying free-energy landscape governing the system dynamics and thermodynamics, an analytical solution is provided to explain the heavy tail of the degree distribution, neighbor connectivity, and clustering coefficient. This derivation allows us to understand the universal CSN topology observed in systems ranging from a simple quadratic well to the native state of the beta3s peptide and a two-dimensional lattice heteropolymer. Moreover, CSNs are shown to fall in the general class of complex networks described by the fitness model. date: 2007 publication: Physical Review E volume: 76 number: 2 publisher: American Physical Society pagerange: 026113 id_number: doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.76.026113 refereed: TRUE issn: 1539-3755 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.76.026113 related_url_url: http://arxiv.org/abs/0704.2699 citation: Gfeller, David and de Lachapelle, David Morton and De Los Rios, Paolo and Caldarelli, Guido and Rao, Francesco Uncovering the topology of configuration space networks.
