The DI has a video on YouTube:
Ziggy in the Cell
I thought it was Ziggy, but I didn't see Ziggy. Thank Monkey for that!
Anyway, Meyer comments in the video that just after a protein is sequenced it enters a "barrel shaped machine" where the protein is folded.
What the hell is he talking about? Barrel shaped machine? It's been a while but I thought the final conformation resulted from the secondary structure (cross-links) derived from the primary structure (amino acid sequence).
Need education on this please!
(I know it may be a shock to some of you that old Doc Bill doesn't know everything, but there you have it.)
Also, comments are currently open on YouTube (hint, hint).
