Codon usage affects cotranslational protein folding. (a) Cotranslational folding of different domains of the nascent peptide is adapted to the elongation kinetics defined by codon usage to allow optimal protein folding. (b) Changes to codon usage alter elongation kinetics, which can increase protein misfolding.
