A hypothesis on protein folding in vivo.
1. A hypothesis on protein folding in vivo based on the Poincaré recursion argument is proposed and discussed. 2. It is postulated that protein folding in vivo proceeds through prefolded peptide segments which consist of 3 to 14 amino acids. 3. It is also shown that circular dichroism spectroscopy can successfully be applied for monitoring of the appearance of the correct tertiary structure of proteins.
