Flexible protein folding by ant colony optimization [PDF]
, 2008 Protein structure prediction is one of the most challenging topics in bioinformatics. As the protein structure is found to be closely related to its functions, predicting the folding structure of a protein to judge its functions is meaningful to the ...

Protein folding on the ribosome studied using NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2013 NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the investigation of protein folding and misfolding, providing a characterization of molecular structure, dynamics and exchange processes, across a very wide range of timescales and with near atomic resolution.

Protein GB1 folding and assembly from structural elements. [PDF]
, 2009 Folding of the Protein G B1 domain (PGB1) shifts with increasing salt concentration from a cooperative assembly of inherently unstructured subdomains to an assembly of partly pre-folded structures.

Protein folding disorders: Toward a basic biological paradigm [PDF]
, 2010 Mechanistic 'physics' models of protein folding fail to account for the observed spectrum of protein folding and aggregation disorders, suggesting that a more appropriately biological paradigm will be needed for understanding the etiology ...

Without magic bullets: the biological basis for public health interventions against protein folding disorders [PDF]
, 2010 Protein folding disorders of aging like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases currently present intractable medical challenges. 'Small molecule' interventions - drug treatments - often have, at best, palliative impact, failing to alter

Mechanisms of evolutionary optimized complex folding reactions [PDF]
, 2007 The mechanisms and speed limits of evolutionary optimized complex folding reactions were investigated in this study. The two viral model proteins, foldon and SFVP, have evolved under selective pressure for fast and efficient folding and association.

CHAPTER 1.1. Disulfide Bonds in Protein Folding and Stability [PDF]
, 2018 Disulfide bonds are unique among post-translational modifications, as they add covalent crosslinks to the polypeptide chain. Accordingly, they can exert pronounced effects on protein folding and stability. This is of particular importance for secreted or

Comparing the folding and misfolding energy landscapes of phosphoglycerate kinase. [PDF]
, 2011 Partitioning of polypeptides between protein folding and amyloid formation is of outstanding pathophysiological importance. Using yeast phosphoglycerate kinase as model, here we identify the features of the energy landscape that decide the fate of the ...

Single-molecule fluorescence studies of Protein Folding and Molecular Chaperones [PDF]
, 2011 Folding of newly synthesized proteins is an essential part of protein biosynthesis and misfolding can result in protein aggregation which can also lead to several severe diseases.
