Once denatured, pepsin is unable to refold to an active native state upon returning from denaturing conditions. One proposed solution for this is that pepsin formation depends on a separate prosegment (PS) domain. When returning from the denatured state, the denatured pepsin first has to bypass a large folding barrier and then in the presence of PS  the native state can become thermodynamically stable. The PS therefore can catalyze pepsin folding by stabilizing the transition state <ref name="native" /> .
