✦ Synopsis

Microwaves are shown to affect the kinetics of conformational changes of the protein b-lactoglobulin. Microwaves can accelerate conformational changes in the direction towards the equilibrium state. This applies both for the folding and the unfolding processes. Cold denaturing thermal unfolding of the proteins is accelerated by negative temperature gradients. Microwave irradiation of the protein solution heated it by about 0.3 degree, and hence the observed acceleration of denaturing is therefore non-thermal.

## Abstract The presence of non‐native kinetic traps in the free energy landscape of a protein may significantly lengthen the overall folding time so that the folding process becomes unreliable. We use a computational model α‐helical hairpin peptide to calculate structural free energy landscapes an
