High-resolution structures of nascent polypeptide chains in complex with the ribosome — the cell’s protein-synthesis machinery — reveal how the ribosome guides protein folding. Ribosomal attachment reduces the entropy (disorder) of the unfolded protein and surrounding water, encouraging ribosome-associated proteins to fold through stable intermediate states not seen in isolated proteins.
