Various unfolding intermediates (only a small number of them are shown) and a network of unfolding pathways. The arrows correspond to elementary unfolding steps, each of which is a transition of one link from the globular native-like part of the intermediate to the coil. Any continuous chain of arrows forms a possible unfolding pathway (see Fig. 1), and a molecule can go up and down along each of them.
