Abstract excerpt
Folding and function of proteins are two aspects of proteins which are usually considered as basically unrelated phenomena that are optimized by evolution independently. From the funnel model of folding/unfolding and the associated energy landscape, we infer the paradigm that the minimum number of folding intermediates is determined by the number of all functional states of a protein ("essential" folding...
