Structures of folding intermediates.
The past year has yielded important results in the study of protein-folding intermediates. It has been shown that the equilibrium molten globule has a native-like tertiary fold and is separated from the unfolded state by a first-order phase transition. New equilibrium intermediates have been revealed and substantial progress has been made in the understanding of two main barriers in protein folding.
