The diffusion–collision model of protein folding has been solved exactly for a three‐microdomain protein subunit. Numerical analysis shows that the exact kinetics may be excellently approximated in all cases studied by a standard chemical kinetics approach with the forward rate constants calculated from the mean folding time formula found previously.
