Research Highlights

Melting the molten globule Although much research has gone into studying protein folding, the difficulties of studying a potentially heterogeneous ensemble of pathways by bulk solution measurements has made it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the pathways involved. Single-molecule measurements offer an approach for watching an individual protein molecule fold; however, previous studies have lacked the resolution to observe folding intermediates.
