In the multi-domain protein adenylate kinase, domain insertion facilitates cooperative folding while accommodating function at domain interfaces.

Having multiple domains in proteins can lead to partial folding and increased aggregation. Folding cooperativity, the all or nothing folding of a protein, can reduce this aggregation propensity. In agreement with bulk experiments, a coarse-grained structure-based model of the three-domain protein, E...
