The Role of Non-Native Interactions in the Folding of Knotted Proteins: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
For several decades, the presence of knots in naturally-occurring proteins was largely ruled out a priori for its supposed incompatibility with the efficiency and robustness of folding processes. For this very same reason, the later discovery of several unrelated families of knotted proteins motivat...
