Protein folding as a complex reaction: a two-component potential for the driving force of folding and its variation with folding scenario.

The Helmholtz decomposition of the vector field of probability fluxes in a two-dimensional space of collective variables makes it possible to introduce a potential for the driving force of protein folding [Chekmarev, J. Chem. Phys. 139 (2013) 145103]. The potential has two components: one component...
