A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Non-equilibrium protein folding (and unfolding) in the cell.

Anfinsen’s experiments in the 1960s taught us that proteins can fold by themselves, to a certain extent. These results have been correctly interpreted as a sign that the functional, natively folded state is the minimum of the free-energy landscape of proteins. Nonetheless, folding being a complex process over a rugged landscape, proteins might be trapped into metastable states for long times and, ultimately, aggregate. Furthermore, because of mutations or external stresses, the native state might not be the minimum of the free-energy, leading to spontaneous protein denaturation.

Chaperones supervise protein folding and allow proteins to fold correctly by an energy-consuming process. Here we show that, as a consequence, the native state of proteins can be preserved even under conditions that do not promote protein native folding, characterizing thus the native state as a non-equilibrium stationary state.
