The available experimental data on the kinetics of unfolding and refolding of small proteins are reviewed. Excluding slow transitions in the unfolded protein due to cis- trans isomerization of peptide bonds, the rate-limiting transition state in both unfolding and refolding is concluded to be a high

## Abstract We report a new free energy decomposition that includes structureβderived atomic contact energies for the desolvation component, and show that it applies equally well to the analysis of singleβdomain protein folding and to the binding of flexible peptides to proteins. Specifically, we s
## Abstract The formation of proteinβDNA complexes often involves deformation of the DNA double helix. We have calculated the energy necessary to produce this deformation in 71 crystallographically determined complexes, using internal coordinate energy optimization with the JUMNA program and a gene
