The observation that many AFUs consist of noncontinuous segments of the polypeptide chain, often corresponding to distant regions of the primary sequence, suggests that AFUs may provide an efficient mechanism for restricting conformational space by requiring collapse and compaction of distant stretches of the polypeptide chain at early stages of protein folding.
Just as folding a flat sheet of paper can transform it into a crane or lotus flower, researchers have come to realize that a complex pattern of loops and folds helps bring particular genes into direct contact with distant stretches of DNA that regulate those genes' activity, spurring the gene expression that makes a bone, muscle, or brain cell or fuels a cancer.

Such is the case with his five-canvas study of the Rio Grande flood-monitoring station, an accumulation of views of an antennaed metal shack above a tire-tracked floodplain, red aerial markers on an overhead cable that stretches to a distant bluff, prickly brush, sun-soaked concrete, umber shadows, and burning blue sky.
