"Bead" force fields for protein simulations

[Richard P. Muller]

I am looking for references or a good review article on "bead" models
for protein simulations. By a bead model I mean one in which an entire
amino acid residue is represented in the force field as a single
particle. 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

P.S. For those of you who requested a summary of my recent posting on
the membrane protein crystallization method in Science, I am putting
together the summary now and will post shortly.
