## Abstract The first stage of protein selfโorganizationโthe formation of a fluctuating secondary structure in the unfolded protein chainโis considered. The stereochemical theory is presented enabling one to calculate helixโcoil and ฮฒโstructureโcoil equilibrium constants. It is shown that the most
An important idea that emerges from the energy landscape theory of protein folding is that subtle global features of the protein landscape can profoundly affect the apparent mechanism of folding. The relationship between various characteristic temperatures in the phase diagrams and landmarks in the
