Abstract

The protein folding problem was, to paraphrase Churchill, 'A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'. The riddle, in this context, was the folding code; what interactions at the amino acid level are driving the folding process? The mystery was the kinetic question (Levinthal's paradox); how does the folding process occur so quickly (typically in timescales ranging from μS to mS)? Finally, the enigma represents the computational problem of developing approaches to predict the final folded sate of a protein given only its amino acid sequence. Herein, I trace the path to solving this riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

解决蛋白质折叠问题....
用丘吉尔的话来说,蛋白质折叠问题是 "谜中之谜"。在这种情况下,谜底就是折叠密码;是什么在氨基酸水平上的相互作用推动了折叠过程?谜底是动力学问题(莱文塔尔悖论);折叠过程为何发生得如此之快(时间尺度通常从微秒到毫秒不等)?最后,这个谜团代表了一个计算问题,即如何在仅给出氨基酸序列的情况下,开发出预测蛋白质最终折叠状态的方法。在此,我将追溯解开这个谜中之谜的路径。
