Q. What is Levianthal’s paradox?
a
Proteins take as little as a microsecond to completely fold, despite the astronomical possible conformations for each polypeptide sequence.
b
Proteins go through every possible intermediates during folding, despite the astronomical amount of time it takes.
c
Proteins take minutes to hours to completely fold, which is not compatible with life.
d
The entropy of proteins decrease as they fold, which contradicts the second law of thermodynamics.
