Water and Molecular Chaperones as Weak Links in Protein Folding Networks: A Game Theory View of Protein Folding
A conceptual leap in understanding protein folding, showing how water molecules and molecular chaperones act as weak, transient links that smooth energy landscapes and prevent conformational traps. This paper connects protein folding, dynamic networks, and game theory, offering a new way to see how folding and interaction landscapes are managed in crowded cellular environments.
