Protein folding is a critical process by which linear chains of amino acids adopt specific three‐dimensional conformations essential for biological function. In recent years, studies have increasingly ...

"Because of the nature of this type of misfolding, the protein gets stuck," Jiang said. "The protein must backtrack in the folding process to correct the mistake, which takes time and is energetically ...

In the wee hours of an October morning, David Baker, a protein biologist at the University of Washington (UW), received the most-awaited phone call in a scientist’s career. Halfway around the world, ...
