With critical advances in spectroscopic techniques in examining structures of biomacromolecules, in maturation of molecular biology techniques, as well as vast improvements in computation prowess, protein structures are now being elucidated at an unprecedented rate. In spite of all the recent advances, the protein folding puzzle remains as one of the fundamental biochemical challenges. A facet to this empiric problem is the structural determinants of protein folding. What are the driving forces that pivot a polypeptide chain to a specific conformation amongst the vast conformation space? In this review, we shall discuss some of the structural determinants to protein folding that have been identified in the recent decades. © 2009 Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel/Switzerland. | Source Title: | Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/102549 | ISSN: | 1420682X | DOI: | 10.1007/s00018-009-0023-5 |
