Taylor states "Pulling the ends of a given piece of string will usually decide whether it is knotted or not. Because we hold the ends, the string and our body form a closed circle and there is no danger of untying the knot as it is pulled." "The ends of protein chains (being charged) tend to lie on the surface ...." "An alternative approach is to invert the problem: rather than extending the termini outwards, these can be left fixed and the rest of the protein made to shrink around them. This was done [mathematically] by contracting the protein as if it were a rubber band."<ref name="taylor2000" /> | Taylor states "Pulling the ends of a given piece of string will usually decide whether it is knotted or not.
