R67 dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a homotetrameric enzyme. Its subunit has a core structure consisting of five antiparallel beta-strands that form a compact beta-barrel. Our interest was to describe the molecular mechanism of the complete folding pathway of this beta-sheet protein, focusing on how the oligomerization steps are coordinated with the formation of secondary and tertiary structures all along the folding process.
