Here we present a theoretical-computational study of the thermodynamics and kinetics of an aqueous Trp-cage, a 20-residue long miniprotein. The combined use of accurate molecular dynamics simulations rigorously reconstructing the proper isobar of the system and a sound statistical-mechanical model provides a quantitative description of the temperature dependence of the relevant physical-chemical properties and insights into the detailed mechanisms regulating the folding-unfolding properties.
