Which outcome occurs when a protein encounters an energy barrier during configuration sampling?

💡 Explanation

Conformational changes get kinetically trapped, because the protein lacks sufficient energy to overcome the energetic barrier via a mechanism influencing transition state theory, therefore halting sampling rather than other options involving spontaneous change which demand more energy.
