Abstract excerpt
A lattice model with side chains was used to investigate protein folding with computer simulations. In this model, we rigorously demonstrate the existence of a specific folding nucleus. This nucleus contains specific interactions not present in the native state that, when weakened, slow folding but do not change protein stability. Such a decoupling of folding kinetics from thermodynamics has been observed...
