FoldEx

After reading the Scripps press release about the "FoldEx" model proposed in ""An Adaptable Standard for Protein Export from the Endoplasmic Reticulum" (Wiseman, et al., in Cell, Vol 131, 809-821, 16 November 2007), I decided to listen to the podcast with coauthors William Balch and Evan Powers. The press release had me thinking FoldEx was a folding model. It's actually a kinetics model. The essence of it can be seen in this graphic.
