Scientists say they have made some of the first direct measurements of how long it takes an individual, ordinary protein to fold – and the results were surprising. go.nature.com/3N4UrSD

How fast does a protein fold? Real-time technique captures the moment
Proteins assume complex 3D shapes even faster than does DNA, which is a simpler molecule.
