Free energy folding landscape for a hypothetical protein Free energy folding landscape for a hypothetical protein. The free energy (vertical axis) is plotted against a two-dimensional representation of the conformational space. The lines represent two examples for routes of individual molecules upon their folding. Arrows point to local minima where semistable conformations may become kinetically trapped.
