Abstract excerpt
Protein folding dynamics emerge from subtle changes in intramolecular interactions, where hydration shapes free energy landscapes and influences conformational ensembles and supramolecular assembly. While these shape-shifting principles have been primarily explored in well-behaved systems with sharp transitions, their applicability to multidomain protein assemblies, particularly those containing partially folded...
