Abstract

Proteins can begin the conformational search for their native structure in parallel with biosynthesis on the ribosome, in a process termed co-translational folding. In contrast to the reversible folding of isolated domains, as a nascent chain emerges from the ribosome exit tunnel during translation the free energy landscape it explores also evolves as a function of chain length. While this presents a substantially more complex measurement problem, this review will outline the progress that has been made recently in understanding, quantitatively, the process by which a nascent chain attains its full native stability, as well as the mechanisms through which interactions with the nearby ribosome surface can perturb or modulate this process.
