Cotranslational folding allows misfolding-prone proteins to circumvent deep kinetic traps

A Bitran, WM Jacobs, X Zhai… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Many large proteins suffer from slow or inefficient folding in vitro. It has long been known that
this problem can be alleviated in vivo if proteins start folding cotranslationally. However, the …

FO Tzul, D Vasilchuk… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Theoretical and experimental studies have firmly established that protein folding can be
described by a funneled energy landscape. This funneled energy landscape is the result of …

Understanding the molecular basis of folding cooperativity through a comparative analysis of a multidomain protein and its isolated domains

D Santorelli, L Marcocci, V Pennacchietti… - Journal of Biological …, 2023 - ASBMB
Although cooperativity is a well-established and general property of folding, our current
understanding of this feature in multidomain folding is still relatively limited. In fact, there are …
