Diffusion–collision model for protein folding
Abstract
The basic equations for the elementary step in the diffusion–collision–coalescence model of protein folding are derived for the case of two radially diffusing spherical microdomains. Refinements and biological implications of the mechanism are considered; included are detailed discussions of the parameters of the model, the possibilities of rotational diffusion and surface diffusion in one or two dimensions, the nature of the microdomains, and the application of the model to protein unfolding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
