Abstract:
Twenty-eight years after its original publication, the diffusion-collision model has successfully been applied to describe the folding kinetics of two proteins with the same native structure but different sequences (Islam et al., this issue of Structure). The calculations show the relative importance of the primary and tertiary structure on the sequence of events and folding. For both proteins, the model suggests parallel folding pathways, a finding which has wide implications for the interpretations of experiments.
