Schematic energy landscape diagrams of the native and unfolded structures consistent with the results of the IR experiments. The native protein occupies a narrow energy well with a smaller number of microstates separated by relatively low energy barriers. The thermally unfolded protein has a much broader ensemble of conformational states separated by higher energy barriers.
