Title:<strong> Protein Folding-Unfolding Dynamics and Hydrophobic Force Law</strong>

<strong>Abstract : </strong>Folding of a protein into its complex but unique three dimensional native state is a non-trivial process. Great progress has been made in recent years in solving the mystery of protein folding and unfolding. One major driving force in protein folding is an effective attraction between the hydrophobic amino acid residues. We shall discuss aspects of this hydrophobic force and its role in protein folding and unfolding dynamics.
