Abstract:
Some concepts, such as energy landscape, Gibbs energy landscape, and cooperativity, frequently used in the theory of protein folding, are examined exactly in one-dimensional systems. It is shown that much of the confusion that exists regarding these, and other concepts arise from the misinterpretation of Anfinsen's thermodynamic hypothesis.
