Synthesis runs counter to directional folding of a nascent protein domain

In vivo experiments and optical tweezers force-spectroscopy measurements assessing the co-translational folding of the G-domain from bacterial elongation factor G reveal a sequential folding pathway initiating from the C-terminus. These results suggest that protein folding and synthesis proceed in o...
