Exploration of protein folding pathways

Exploration of protein folding pathways primarily involves the energy landscape theory, which describes the process as seeking the lowest energy state (native conformation) in a complex energy landscape, involving energy barriers and wells that must be traversed. Experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-EM are used to visualize the structures of proteins at different folding stages. Folding intermediates, temporary conformations adopted by proteins during folding, are often trapped and studied to understand the pathway.
