Schematic diagram depicting the hypothesized energy levels for a natural protein. Each line denotes a unique conformation and therefore the unfolded states are represented by an astronomically large number of these lines. The non-native folded states, or molten globule ensemble, are a collection of nearly isoenergetic conformations as shown. The number of molten globule states depicted is arbitrary.
