Protein folding is the physical process by which a protein, after synthesis by a ribosome as a linear chain of amino acids, changes from an unstable random...

convey any steric information for protein folding, and instead assist in protein folding by binding to and stabilizing folding intermediates until the polypeptide...

protein folding into a specific 3D structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains...

comprehensive views of the folding process. Protein folding does not occur in one step. Instead, proteins spend most of their folding time, nearly 96% in some...

answer to the protein prediction problem would still leave questions about the protein folding problem—understanding in detail how the folding process actually...

predict protein folding and thus protein structure, for example, Itasser, and AlphaFold. AlphaFold was one of the first AIs to predict protein structures....

protein structure that could fold autonomously. In the past domains have been described as units of: compact structure function and evolution folding...

perform chaperone functions by stabilizing new proteins to ensure correct folding or by helping to refold proteins that were damaged by the cell stress. This...

protein folding by increasing solubility and mediates the protein binding to protein chaperones. Chaperones are proteins responsible for folding and maintaining...

of protein folding is currently being studied. Even in the protein's denatured state, it can be folded into the correct structure. Globular proteins seem...

identified as a peptide, rather than a protein. To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations...

The folding funnel hypothesis is a specific version of the energy landscape theory of protein folding, which assumes that a protein's native state corresponds...

advances in the problem of protein folding with AlphaFold. In July 2022, it was announced that over 200 million predicted protein structures, representing...

helix and alpha sheet are rare in native state proteins but are often hypothesized as important protein folding intermediates. Tight turns and loose, flexible...

Hence, proteins may be classified by the structures they hold. Databases of proteins which use such a classification include SCOP and CATH. Folding kinetics...

beta-barrel transmembrane proteins have simplest up-and-down topology, which may reflect their common evolutionary origin and similar folding mechanism.[citation...
