In molecular biology, the term molten globule (MG) refers to protein states that are more or less compact (hence the "globule"), but are lacking the specific tight packing of amino acid residues which creates the solid state-like tertiary structure of completely folded proteins (hence the "molten"). Protein folding is navigated by a dynamic interplay of secondary and tertiary interactions. Two ext
