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...
