How long does it take to equilibrate the unfolded state of a protein? The answer to this question has important implications for our understanding of why many small proteins fold with two state kinetics. When the equilibration within the unfolded state U is much faster than the folding, the folding kinetics will be two state even if there are many folding pathways with different barriers. Yet t...

Repeat proteins are widespread in nature, with many of them functioning as binding molecules in protein-protein recognition. Their simple structural architecture is used in biotechnology for generating proteins with high affinities to target proteins. Recent folding studies of ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins revealed a new mechanism of protein folding. The formation of an intermediate state is rat...

The FK506-FKBP12 binding-domain of the kinase FRAP (FRB) forms a classic up-down four-helical bundle. The folding pathway of this protein has been investigated using a combination of equilibrium and kinetic studies. The native state of the protein is stable with respect to the unfolded state by some 7 kcal mol(-1) at pH 6.0, 10 degrees C. A kinetic analysis of unfolding and refolding rate const...

We review the studies on the folding mechanism of the beta-hairpin tryptophan zipper 2 (trpzip2) and present some additional computational results to refine the picture of folding heterogeneity and pathways. We show that trpzip2 can have a two-state or a multi-state folding pattern, depending on whether it folds within the native basin or through local state basins on the high-dimensional free ...

A hydrophobic folding unit cutting algorithm, originally developed for dissecting single-chain proteins, has been applied to a dataset of dissimilar two-chain protein-protein interfaces. Rather than consider each individual chain separately, the two-chain complex has been treated as a single chain. The two-chain parsing results presented in this work show hydrophobicity to be a critical attribu...

The folding mechanisms of proteins are increasingly being probed through single-molecule experiments in which the protein is immobilized on a surface. Nevertheless, a clear understanding of how the surface might affect folding, and whether or not it changes folding from its bulk behavior, is lacking. In this work, we use molecular dynamics simulations of a model beta-barrel protein tethered to ...

Thermodynamic measurements of proteins indicate that the folding to the native state takes place either through stable intermediates or through a two-state process without intermediates. The rather short folding times of proteins indicate that folding is guided through some sequence of contact bindings. We discuss the possibility of reconciling a two-state folding event with a sequential foldin...

The hydrogen exchange behavior of a four-helix bundle protein in low concentrations of denaturant reveals some partially unfolded forms that are significantly more stable than the fully unfolded state. Kinetic folding of the protein, however, is apparently two-state in the absence of the accumulation of early folding intermediates. The partially unfolded forms are either as folded as or more fo...

It is a challenging task to investigate the different influence of long-range and short-range interactions on two-state and three-state folding kinetics of protein. The networks of the 30 two-state proteins and 15 three-state proteins were constructed by complex networks analysis at three length scales: Protein Contact Networks, Long-range Interaction Networks and Short-range Interaction Networ...

Visualizing the navigation of an ensemble of unfolded molecules through the bumpy energy landscape in search of the native state gives a pictorial view of biomolecular folding. This picture, when combined with concepts in polymer theory, provides a unified theory of RNA and protein folding. Just as for proteins, the major folding free energy barrier for RNA scales sublinearly with the number of...
