Abstract excerpt
One of the necessary conditions for a protein to be foldable is the presence of a complete set of folding elements (FEs) that are short contiguous peptide segments distributed over an amino acid sequence. Previous studies indicated the FE assembly model of protein folding, in which the FEs interact with each other and coalesce to form an intermediate(s) early in the folding reaction. This suggests that a clue to...
