Making a network of hydrophobic clusters.

Abstract excerpt

The early events in protein folding are often difficult to track. A hydrophobic collapse, during which nonpolar residues are buried away from the polar solvent, has been proposed, but little is known about the role of this collapse in protein folding. In his Perspective, Baldwin discusses the report by Klein-Seetharaman et al., who shed some light on this issue. A network of hydrophobic clusters stabilizes at...
