In order to fulfil their many functions, proteins must be folded into the correct shape. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered tiny “folding factories” in cells that enable ...

I read with interest your report on protein folding.1 You cited C. Levinthal, Journal of Chemical Physics, 65:44-5, 1968 to illustrate the difficulty in the folding problem: "[Levinthal's paradox] ...
