Cooperativity and modularity in protein folding
Statistical mechanical models have made a significant contribution to elucidating the physics of protein folding.In particular, a simple theoretical model proposed by Wako and Saitô has explained quantitative features of pathways, transition-state ensembles, and intermediates of folding of a variety of proteins. This review explains how the physical principles of protein folding were revealed by this model, and discusses the application of the model to the folding of multi-domain proteins with topologically complex conformations and to the problems in allosteric transitions.
