title: How does protein folding get started?
abstract: Three models for the initiation of protein folding are considered in the light of recent experiments. The three models emphasize the possible roles of: (1) a hydrophobic collapse, (2) formation of secondary structure, or (3) formation of one or more specific interactions. Whether these models are likely to be contradictory or complementary is discussed.
