Accurate prediction of cellular co-translational folding indicates proteins can switch from post- to co-translational folding

The folding of protein domains can occur concomitant with their synthesis, and the rates at which individual codons are translated by the ribosome can affect the folding process. Here the authors present a kinetic model that accurately predicts the probability that a nascent protein domain will co-t...
