Abstract
The early kinetic events of protein folding are an important part of the folding pathway, yet our understanding towards the process is limited. Information from the study of these early events can allow us to distinguish between the various models that have been proposed to describe the folding of a protein in real time. Unlike “typical” chemical kinetics with well-defined initial and final states, the initial state of a denatured protein is relatively ill-defined. This uncertainty introduces ambiguity in the interpretation of the experimental data on the early events in protein folding. Toward developing a unified theory of protein folding, it is necessary to begin the observation of the refolding process from a well-defined initial state, trigger folding as rapidly as possible, and to follow the protein in real time as it samples its conformational space over its highly complex free-energy landscape.
