Single-molecule magnetic tweezers(MTs) have revealed multiple transition barriers along the unfolding pathway of several two-state proteins, such as GB1 and Csp. In this study, we utilized MTs to measure the force-dep...

Protein folding in crowding cellular environment often relies on the assistance of various chaperones. Hsp70 is one of the most ubiquitous chaperones in cells. Previous studies showed that the chaperone–client intera...

The folding of many small proteins is kinetically a two-state process with one major free-energy barrier to overcome,which can be roughly regarded as the inverse process of unfolding.In this work,we first use a Gaussi...
Proteins are important biological molecules whose structures are closely related to their specific functions. Understanding how the protein folds under physical principles, known as the protein folding problem, is one...

Two-state folding and down-hill folding are two kinds of protein folding dynamics for small single domain proteins.Here we apply molecular dynamics(MD)simulation to the two-state protein GB1 and down-hill folding prot...

We study the protein folding problem on the base of our quantum approach by considering the model of protein chain with nine amino-acid residues.We introduce the concept of distance space and its projections on a XY-p...

Protein sequences as special heterogeneous sequences are rare in the amino acid sequence space. The specific sequen- tial order of amino acids of a protein is essential to its 3D structure. On the whole, the correlati...

A heuristic algorithm is presented for a three-dimensional off-lattice AB model consisting of hydrophobic (A) and hydrophilic (B) residues in Fibonacci sequences. By incorporating extra energy contributions into t...
One of the long-standing controversial arguments in protein folding is Levinthal's paradox. We have recently proposed a new nucleation hypothesis and shown that the nucleation residues are the most conserved sequence...
