Fast-folding experiments and the topography of protein folding energy landscapes.
The rapid folding of certain proteins can be described theoretically using an energy landscape in the shape of a folding funnel. New techniques have allowed the examination of fast-folding events that occur in microseconds or less, and have tested the predictions of the theoretical models.
