Abstract
We have analyzed dynamics on the complex free-energy landscape of protein
folding in the FOLD-X model, by calculating for each state of the system the mean first-passage
time to the folded state. The resulting kinetic map of the folding process shows that it proceeds
in jumps between well-defined, local free-energy minima. Closer analysis of the different local
minima allows us to reveal secondary, parallel pathways as well as dead ends
