"The term molten globule (MG) was first coined by A. Wada and M Ohgushi in 1983. It was first found in cytochrome c, which conserves a native-like secondary structure content but without the tightly packed protein interior, under low pH and high salt concentration. For cytochrome c and some other proteins, it has been shown that the molten globule state is a "thermodynamic state" clearly different both from the native and the denatured state, demonstrating for the first time the existence of a third equilibirum (i.e., intermediate) state."

Start with a definition, please. You've said who coined it, when it was coined, where it was first found, and what it is distinct from. But not 84.227.241.98 (talk) 11:36, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
