The protein folding rate and the geometry and topology of the native state

Abstract Proteins fold in 3-dimensional conformations which are important for their function. Characterizing the global conformation of proteins rigorously and separating secondary structure effects from topological effects is a challenge. New developments in applied knot theory allow to characteriz...
