Abstract

▪ Abstract This review focuses on recent advances in understanding protein folding kinetics in the context of nucleation theory. We present basic concepts such as nucleation, folding nucleus, and transition state ensemble and then discuss recent advances and challenges in theoretical understanding of several key aspects of protein folding kinetics. We cover recent topology-based approaches as well as evolutionary studies and molecular dynamics approaches to determine protein folding nucleus and analyze other aspects of folding kinetics. Finally, we briefly discuss successful all-atom Monte-Carlo simulations of protein folding and conclude with a brief outlook for the future.

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.
