Abstract
Recent findings for nano-structured polymeric systems support the existence of dynamic heterogeneities in glass-forming materials. The implications for structure formation in proteins are considered. The high speed and efficiency of the folding process might be explainable based on differences in the slow segmental mobility along the protein chain.
