✦ Synopsis

To explain the rapidity of the process of protein folding, we cite two aspects of hydrophobic interaction: its long-range nature and the specificity of pairing after the formation of secondary structures. These two factors, when incorporated with the growth-type mechanism, can determine the folding pathway of proteins. This mechanism is applied to myoglobin. Appropriate introduction of side chains of amino acid residues and the heme group attached to His 93 yield a refolded tertiary structure that is in good agreement with the native structure.

## Abstract Non‐thermal effects induced by exposure to microwave electromagnetic field (MW‐EMF) at 1.95 MHz, a frequency used in mobile communication, have been observed on the refolding kinetics of the heme binding site in an intracellular protein: tuna myoglobin, starting from acidic conditions.
