Summary

The folding mechanism of a three-helix bundle protein is studied at atomic resolution, including effects of explicit water, and the kinetic bottlenecks for folding can be determined from the thermal ensembles of structures on the free energy barriers, provided the kinetically determined transition-state ensembled are similar to those determined fromfree energy barriers.
