| Abstract |
How fast can a protein possibly fold? This question has stimulated experimentalists to seek fast folding proteins and to engineer them to fold even faster. Proteins folding at or near the speed limit are prime candidates for all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. They may also have no free energy barrier, allowing the direct observation of intermediate structures on the pathways from the unfolded to the folded state. Both experimental and theoretical approaches predict a speed limit of approximately N/100micros for a generic N-residue single-domain protein, with alpha proteins folding faster than beta or alphabeta. The predicted limits suggest that most known ultrafast folding proteins can be engineered to fold more than ten times faster. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 19. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 February 2023.
All research outputs
#1,980,744
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Current Opinion in Structural Biology
#71
of 2,067 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#4,143
of 146,672 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Opinion in Structural Biology
#1
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,067 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 146,672 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
