The speed limit for protein folding measured by triplet–triplet energy transfer
Open accessAbstract
A direct measure of intramolecular chain diffusion is obtained by the determination of triplet–triplet energy-transfer rates between a donor and an acceptor chromophore attached at defined points on a polypeptide chain. Single exponential kinetics of contact formation are observed on the nanosecond time scale for polypeptides in which donor and acceptor are linked by repeating units of glycine and serine residues. The rates depend on the number of peptide bonds ( N ) separating donor and acceptor and show a maximum for the shortest peptides ( N = 3) with a time constant ( τ = 1/ k ) of 20 ns. This sets an upper limit for the speed of formation of the first side-chain contacts during protein folding.

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.
