Two energy barriers and a transient intermediate state determine the unfolding and folding dynamics of cold shock protein

Force-dependent transitions can provide insights into the free-energy landscape of proteins. Here, the authors observe the folding and unfolding dynamics of the model protein Csp using magnetic tweezers, from which a free-energy landscape with two energy barriers and a transient intermediate state i...
