摘要
In a recent report on atomic force microscopy (AFM)-monitored protein folding, Fernandez and Li (Reports, 12 March 2004, p. 1674) concluded that the folding of the single-domain protein ubiquitin does not correspond to transitions between discrete states. The results are inconsistent with solution studies of ubiquitin folding and probably are due in part to chain-tangling in the tethered polyprotein construct used in the AFM studies.
