Abstract excerpt
The topology of the designed protein Top7 is not found in natural proteins. Top7 shows signatures of non-cooperative folding in both experimental studies and computer simulations. In particular, molecular dynamics of coarse-grained structure-based models of Top7 show a well-populated C-terminal folding-intermediate. Since most similarly sized globular proteins are cooperative folders, the non-natural topology of...
