minimalank

Hypothetical minimal folding nucleus of ankyrin repeating proteins. (Ferreiro, Cho, Komives, Wolynes, J. Mol. Biol., 2005 [link])

cracking

Residue strain energy of adenylate kinase structures along nonlinear conformational change path that induces local unfolding, or "cracking". (Miyashita, Onuchic, Wolynes, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 2003 [link])

flycasting

A cartoon of how the "fly-casting mechanism" increases folding speed because the increased capture radius allows the unfolded protein to find its specific binding site faster. (Shoemaker, Portman, Wolynes, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 2000 [link])
