Figure 1: The major species involved in protein folding (top to bottom direction) and protein aggregation (disordered aggregation to the left, ordered aggregation to the right).
Figure 2: An energy diagram that shows the relative energies of the species in Figure 1, along with the activation energies required for their interconversion (one determinant of the velocity).
