Molecular simulations of cotranslational protein folding: fragment stabilities, folding cooperativity, and trapping in the ribosome.

Although molecular simulation methods have yielded valuable insights into mechanistic aspects of protein refolding in vitro, they have up to now not been used to model the folding of proteins as they are actually synthesized by the ribosome. To address this issue, we report here simulation studies o...
