Question

Unusual instances of this process may form fuzzy complexes. Sugita and Okamoto developed the now-commonplace technique of studying this process with replica-exchange molecular dynamics. In this chemical process, the angle omega is typically fixed at 180 degrees. (15[1])Certain molecules that cannot normally undergo this process are called “intrinsically disordered.” (15[4])This process may form (15[1])hybrids of ionic and (-5[1])hydrogen bonds called (*) salt bridges. (10[1])This process is governed by the dihedral angles (10[2])phi and psi, (10[3])which are visualized (10[1])on a Ramachandran (10[2])plot. (-5[1])This process may proceed through a namesake “funnel” in the energy landscape. During this (10[1])process, (10[1])arrangements such as beta sheets and alpha (10[1])helices (10[1])form as part of the secondary structure. (10[1])For 10 points, name this process in which the (-5[1])final three-dimensional configuration is acquired by a protein. (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: protein folding [prompt on folding but accept it after "protein" is read]
