How general is the nucleation-condensation mechanism?

Abstract excerpt

We investigate the structures of the major folding transition states of nine proteins by correlation of published Phi-values with inter-residue contact maps. Combined with previous studies on six proteins, the analysis suggests that at least 10 of the 15 small globular proteins fold via a nucleation-condensation mechanism with a concurrent build-up of secondary and tertiary structure contacts, but a structural...
