The energy cost of polypeptide knot formation and its folding consequences
Knots are natural topologies of chains. Yet, little is known about spontaneous knot formation in a polypeptide chain—an event that can potentially impair its folding—and about the effect of a knot on the stability and folding kinetics of a protein. Here we used optical tweezers to show that the free...
