摘要
During the past year. advances in our understanding of folding mechanisms have been made through detailed experimental and theoretical studies of a number of proteins. The development of new methods has allowed the earliest events in folding to be probed and the measurement of folding at the level of individual molecules is now possible, opening the door to exciting new experiments.
