Nanotubes Could Be a Useful Tool for Protein Folding Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to understand the mechanism of protein folding, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are introduced. We put forward a method to study protein folding by using CNTs based on the principle that CNTs are mimic ribosomal tunnels, where is the first place for protein folding. The theoretical method could be useful in macromolecule refolding study.
