## Abstract

We study the protein folding problem on the base of the quantum approach we proposed recently by considering the model of protein chain with nine amino-acid residues. We introduced the concept of distance space and its projections on a $XY$-plane, and two characteristic quantities, one is called compactness of protein structure and another is called probability ratio involving shortest path. Our results not only confirmed the fast quantum folding time but also unveiled the existence of quantum intelligence hidden behind in choosing protein folding pathways.
