  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Proteins shape up in the ribosome</jats:title> <jats:p> Proteins consist of linear chains of amino acids. These chains must fold into complex three-dimensional shapes to become functional. Holtkamp <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> “watched” how a small helical protein folds as it is being synthesized by the ribosome. The lengthening polypeptide passes out through the ribosome exit tunnel where folding starts. The initially compact structure quickly rearranges into a native three-dimensional structure as the polypeptide emerges from the tunnel. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6264" page="1104" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="350" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aad0344">1104</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
