    • Millisecond-scale molecular dynamics simulations of 12 proteins reveal a set of common principles for protein folding. An outstanding challenge in the field of molecular biology has been to understand the process by which proteins fold into their characteristic three-dimensional structures. Here, we report the results of atomic-level molecular dynamics simulations, over periods ranging between 100 μs and 1 ms, that reveal a set of common principles underlying the folding of 12 structurally… CONTINUE READING
