Like Sydney Altman 1 , I too was initially rejected by the renowned Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. The year was 1967 and I was then in my final year of a B.Sc. degree in Physics at Kings College in London. Enthralled by John Kendrew's BBC 1964 television series " The Thread of Life " , I wanted desperately to do my Ph.D. at the MRC in Cambridge. Alas there was no room for any new postgraduate students in 1967! After some negotiations, I was…

This issue of PNAS shows the utility of a new generation of model systems for protein folding in which a small model protein (the WW domain) can be tuned from simple two-state behavior to more complex three-state folding merely by changing the temperature.

Dynamics of folded proteins

The dynamics of a folded globular protein have been studied by solving the equations of motion for the atoms with an empirical potential energy function and suggest that the protein interior is fluid-like in that the local atom motions have a diffusional character.
