Volume 91, Issue 15

The images show predicted structures for folded proteins and for comparison the corresponding NMR-determined structures (the ribbons with the "bent strings" to the left). The theoretical structure in the left image shows a correctly folded protein and agrees well with the NMR result. The image on the right is slightly misfolded but may represent an important intermediate step in the folding process. [A. Schug, T. Herges, and W. Wenzel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 158102 (2003)]
