My protein folds faster than yours:
testing theories of relative protein folding rates

Across the universe of simple, single domain proteins, the fastest folds
a million times more rapidly than the slowest. What accounts for this dramatic range of kinetic behaviors? In this talk I cast an
experimentalist's critical eye on recent theories of protein folding kinetics
that address this fundamental biophysical issue.
