Example of peptide folding in the environment mimicking a translocon channel. Channel thickness was 1.2 nm. (A) In the absence of water in the channel, the peptide did not fold into a helix. (B) In the presence of water, on the other hand, the helix formed within 100 ns. Reproduced with permission from ref (1373). Copyright 2015, Springer Science Business Media New York.
