For the last three decades, intense work has been carried out to understand how proteins fold, i.e. how they achieve their fine three-dimensional structure – which is also the basis for their biological function, regardless of whether it concerns metabolism, signal transfer or structure. The greatest progress by far has been made in water-soluble proteins, which are generally quite straightforward to work with.
