Collapse and cooperativity in protein folding.
The folding of a polypeptide chain is associated both with compactness and cooperativity within local and global regions of the protein structure, and with the formation of the native-like molecular architecture. Recent experiments shed light on these issues and their relationships to the pathways of protein folding.
