Abstract: | Single-molecule spectroscopy is an important new approach for studying the intrinsically heterogeneous process of protein folding. This Review illustrates how different single-molecule fluorescence techniques have improved our understanding of mechanistic aspects in protein folding, exemplified by a series of recent experiments on a small protein. |
